I have had many good intentions in my life, but like Peter, have failed to follow through on them. Selfishness, fallen human nature, temptations from the Devil get in the way. Peter denies Jesus three times after telling him he would lay down his life for him. So, what is the rest of the story? How does Jesus handle Peter's denial and how does Peter react after he denies Jesus? This is important! The story unfolds as Jesus said it would. Peter denies Jesus 3 times. Peter feels great remorse and sorrow. Jesus comes back after the Resurrection and forgives Peter and tells him 3 times to shepherd God's people. Sin, remorse, forgiveness, get up and try harder with God's grace is how we are called to perfection and sainthood. We killed God with our sins and He came back and forgave us and set us out on missions for His Church. This is the Good News! Today, pray for those who do not remorse or do not know the Good News. If you have not been to confession go and make good with The Lord.
Become a saint!
