-It’s dark…No Resurrection yet…Just dysfunction and sin.
-Look at problems in the world today…Seems to be much confusion & darkness.
-Each year we read Luke’s Passion narrative…
-What detail draws your attention?
-I’m reflecting on Jesus looking at Peter after his 3 denials…
-What was Peter thinking after his fall while he looked into the eyes of his Lord?
-Jesus will later offer Peter the grace, to offer his heart to Jesus… 3x.
-He gives Peter a Remedy…The Keys, Authority, Grace & Forgiveness.
-God gives us through our Jewish elders a remedy…Jesus Christ.
-When you see the cross…Your problems…Trials…Tribulations….
-Remember they are temporary & followed by grace & resurrection.
-2nd chances & forgiveness…Peters denials to confessions of love.
-If we are patient & faithful…What might Jesus give to you after your passion…your Storm…Amidst your confusion…Your Darkness.
-What does Jesus offer the world?…Purpose & clarity of who we are & where we are going.
For me, I am reminded of 2nd chances & remedies after a fall…Same as Peter.
The Lord be with You…Father Vic
