"Let us ... remember
Peter: three times he denied Jesus, precisely when he should have been closest
to him; and when he hits bottom he meets the gaze of Jesus who patiently,
wordlessly, says to him: "Peter, don't be afraid of your weakness, trust in Me."
Peter understands, he feels the loving gaze of Jesus and he
weeps.
How
beautiful is this gaze of Jesus — how much tenderness is there! Brothers and
sisters, let us never lose trust in the patience and mercy of
God!" - Pope Francis
"Why do you look for
more?
Ask Him only to deign to look upon
you.
Tell Him with entire confidence:
'Look upon me
and have mercy on me' (Ps 118:132)
Remembering that, as soon as Jesus
had looked on
that young man who came to Him, He loved him,
fear not to tell Him also:
"Look upon me and... love
me!'"
Fr Jose Guadalupe Trevino
From The
Holy Eucharist
