LORD WHY CAN'T I FOLLOW YOU NOW

JESUS PREDICTS PETER’S DENIAL JOHN 13:36-38

“Where are you going, Lord?” Simon Peter asked him. “You cannot follow me now where I am going,” answered Jesus: “but later you will follow me.”

“Lord, why can’t I follow you now?” asked Peter. “I am ready to die for you!”

Jesus answered, “Are you really ready to die for me? I am telling you the truth: before the cock

crows you say three times that you do not know me.”

In his divine economy, God has honored his creatures most especially his rational ones by giving them each, according to his ability, a part of his own work to do, by participation in his own divine activity. Venerable Solanus Casey
