Last week, Peter was given the keys to the kingdom. This week, Peter is rebuked by Jesus when he asks Jesus not to go to Jerusalem to suffer and die. We can be like Peter - one day close to the Lord following Him, and the next day lose our way. May the Lord give us the grace to stay on His path and move towards Him on our journey to holiness.
