Summary:
Gaudentius opens the sermon stating he is detained in his current location (Milan) speaking at the invitation of ‘our common father’ (communis pater, i.e. Ambrose of Milan) on the feast day (natalis) of Peter and Paul. This birthday is their birthday in heaven. On this day, Nero had them killed in the name of Christ, and God crowned them. Peter was crucified upside down, and Paul beheaded. Both are renowned across the world. The Church is founded on Peter, the rock, and Paul is the vessel of election. Peter shines forth in wonders (mirabiles) and Paul in his teaching and persecutions. Both are equal in suffering. Gaudentius then encourages the congregation to share in the memories of the saints so they might be aided by the prayers of the saints.
