Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Peter’s Deep Faith”: In today’s Gospel, many disciples left Jesus. So, Jesus asked the apostles, “Do you want to go away too?” Peter proclaimed with great commitment and courage, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the message of Eternal Life.” Ponder on, “What are our main obstacles and temptations in our faith? How can our faith grow more fully and deeply?

John 6:64-69
Jesus said to his followers: ‘There are some of you who do not believe.’ For Jesus knew from the outset who did not believe and who was to betray him. He went on, ‘This is why I told you that no one could come to me except by the gift of the Father.’
After this, many of his disciples went away and accompanied him no more. Then Jesus said to the Twelve, ‘What about you, do you want to go away too?’ Simon Peter answered, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the message of eternal life, and we believe; we have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.’
