Beautiful and thoughtful writing as always. Before I receive the Eucharist, one of my short prayers is this “Saint Peter pray for us, that when we deny and betray our Lord as you did, we may cast ourselves upon his mercy and allow ourselves to be transformed into the saints he has called us to be.” I need this reminder-that I am a traitor, and that I am, like St. Peter, called to ask for forgiveness of my betrayal and begin. I always imagine what an incredible saint Judas could have been had he hoped rather than despaired. Thank goodness for St. Peter’s example!
