Today, we celebrate the “Chair of Peter”,1st Bishop of Rome (Pope). I love Peter!! He gives me such hope. Peter can say the most profound thing (like in today’s Gospel), then turn around and be a totally dense blockhead. Despite his many failings, Jesus loved him and saw in him much goodness and strength. I hope I can be used by Jesus despite my many failings. Peter is a great role model. No matter what we do, we just keep on trying, confident in the fact that Jesus loves us. You rock, Peter! (Pun intended!)
