Feast of St. Peter in Chains, August 1

Herod Agrippa had already martyred St. James, and St. Peter was to be next. As St. Peter slept in his prison cell, chained and guarded, an angel appeared. The angel told St. Peter to get up, put on his cloak and sandals, and follow him (although it might have been her). As St. Peter did so the chains fell away and the two of them walked past the guards and out of prison.

And that made me think of Aretha Franklin...
