It is a chastened and rebuked St Peter in this Sunday's gospel reading.
What a difference a week makes! The rock on which the Church will be built makes a error as he tries to protect his friend from suffering. But Christ Our Lord, through a stern reproach and persistent teaching, shows St Peter and the other apostles, disciples and us, that suffering is in the "DNA" of the Christian faith.
God bless you and thank you for listening!
