"I find comfort (perhaps perverse pleasure) in knowing that the rock on which Jesus would build the Church, sank like a stone."(Reflections for Ragamuffins February 3)
While Peter isn't my favorite Apostle, I do have to admire his perseverance. He gets it wrong often yet never throws in the towel. He may be the patron saint of extroverts.
But it is good to know that even people who sometimes speak when they should think. Who act impulsively with sometimes disastrous results, can still be loved and can be given another chance to try again. In fact might even go on to great things.
It is God's patience with us even when we are our own worst enemies that gives me hope.
Blessings,
Ed
