Will You Lay Down Your Life?
A Lenten Minute Reflection for Tuesday, March 31, 2015
by Dcn Bob Bonomi
How many times in our lives have we bravely said we would do something, only to find that when it came time to put up or shut up, we backed down and shut up? We usually have the best of intentions; we are not lying when we say it. But when faced with imminent danger, our weakness wins out.
Peter truly meant what he said. Jesus knows. He also knows our weaknesses. Later, emboldened by the Holy Spirit, Peter will give his life for Jesus. Now He asks us, "Will you lay down your life for me?" Pray for the grace to say, "Yes".
