THURSDAY THOUGHT 2/4/10

I think what I admire most about St. Peter is that he was no saint … so to speak.    He was a hard-working, impatient and impulsive man, the first to jump in and passionately commit to Jesus and, so humanly, the first to turn tail and run. 

There was nothing tepid about Peter.  He did nothing half-heartedly.  In for a dime; in for a dollar.

My point:  Jesus chose the most unlikely of followers.  They were imperfect, often unreliable, filled with doubts and fear.  Gives hope for all of us, eh?  Savor your many blessings this day and rejoice in the gentle forgiveness and love of the Lord. – jri

“You do not want to leave me too, do you?”

Jesus asked the twelve. 

Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom

Shall we go?  You have the words of eternal

Life.  We believe and know that you are the

Holy One of God.”
