In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore you with profound reverence.

I ask your pardon for my sins and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful.

My Immaculate Mother Saint Joseph Joseph, my father, and Lord,

my guardian angel, intercede for me.

This meditation concludes our three-part series

on St. Peter's intimate relationship with the resurrected Christ.

A lot transpired as our Lord conversed with Peter. Immediately after Peter's act of contrition,

in fact, after each act of contrition, the Lord for the first time, he says, feed my lambs.

He says that twice in a row.

And then when Peter says, Lord, you know all things, you know that I love you,

feed my sheep. And that stands to reason because only a profound act of contrition, act of

humility, would allow us to be able to witness the light of Jesus

and to preach him primarily by example,

but also by our word.

And without me, you could do nothing.

And when we make those are are that's a statement Jesus made

Peter obviously heard that very clearly during the Last Supper and what does that

mean in the practice it's it's a sentiment we need to have and we need to keep going

deeper and deeper into that sentiment

without me, you can do nothing.
