Jesus Falls the Third Time

Reading – Luke 22: 34

Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, Peter, before the cock crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.’

 

Reflection

Weakened almost to the point of death, Jesus falls a third time. God has revealed himself as three in one and one in three. Our God is one who shares our humanity. Once in a concentration camp an inmate challenged a priest as to where his God was. He pointed to a man shot dead, tangled in barbed wire. Our God suffers with us – pray for those who feel God is absent in their sufferings

Prayer:

We adore you O Christ and we bless you,

Because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world.
