"Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Amen, amen, I say to you, the cock will not crow before you deny me three times." John 13:38
Peter denied Jesus, Judas betrayed Him, what is the difference? Peter had good intentions, Judas's intentions were not good. How many of us have good intentions only to fall short for various reasons, like Peter? As we enter into the passion of Christ this week, never forget God knows your heart, He knows your short comings and He knows your future. He too gazes into Your eyes and ask You to trust Him even in your failures, to accept His will for your life and like Peter, live with Him for ever. We all make the same decision as Peter or Judas. Will you allow Christ to grow in you?
Dear Lord God, I pray for the lost souls who deny You, those who have yet to meet you. I pray for myself that in my failures I continue to get up and seek Your loving gaze encouraging me to continue on in this journey. I thank You for the wisdom of reliving Your passion each year and allowing us to contemplate our own lives in You. Prayers for strength in my own short comings and thankful for another opportunity to serve You. Triune God be my all, Triune God be my all, Triune God be my all.
Mary, Mother of the Innocent, pray for us.
