St. Apollonia Monday, April 14, 2014 Blessed Peter Gonzalez (d. 1246) St. Paul had a conversion experience on the road to Damascus. Many years later, the same proved true for Peter Gonzalez, who triumphantly rode his horse into the Spanish city of Astorga in the 13th century to take up an important post at the cathedral. The animal stumbled and fell, leaving Peter in the mud and onlookers amused. Humbled, Peter reevaluated his motivations (his bishop-uncle had secured the cathedral post for him) and started down a new path. After retiring from the court, Peter devoted the remainder of his life to preaching in northwest Spain. Peter Gonzalez died in 1246 and was beatified in 1741.

Gospel, Luke 21:12-19
