How sweet God’s love and mercy is. Peter denied Jesus, his Lord and friend, three times. Now Peter is given the chance to repent
by three times affirming, “Yes Lord, you
know that I love you.”
Sometimes
we may think to ourselves, “How easy repenting would have been if I were a
disciple of Jesus.” Actually, it
is easier for us now. Remember how
many ways we can be forgiven of our sins.
In addition to saying sorry to God we believe that acts of service, prayer
(especially the Our Father), fasting, almsgiving, attending Mass and receiving
the Eucharist can all be opportunities for forgiveness.
Praise
God for the many ways in which he offers His mercy to us. As we continue to celebrate Mass today
we repent of our sins and affirm with Peter, “Yes Lord, you know that I love you.”
