In the first reading, Peter and the disciples are chastised for proclaiming Jesus. In the Gospel, Peter jumps into the sea with his clothes on and is asked three times if he loves Jesus. It’s okay for us to be an image of both these moments in Peter’s life: sometimes we are lost and Jesus leads us back to faith, while other times we are ready to proclaim boldly what God has done for us. The truth is we are witnesses to a resurrected life in both our confusion and our sure faith. Both moments are part of the story of how God works in the world. When the next season of suffering and confusion finds us, it is helpful for us to remember that God has led us through the wilderness before, and the end of God’s story is Resurrection.
Prayer of the Faithful: For the courage to bear witness to new life even in confusion, we pray to the Lord.
