John 19:25-27 Peter was still standing there
keeping himself warm. So the other officer said to him, 
“Aren’t you also one of
the disciples of that man?” But Peter denied it. “No, I am not,” he said. One of the High Priest’s slaves, a relative
of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, spoke up. “Didn’t I see you with him in
the garden?” he asked. Again Peter said
“No” – and at once a cock crowed.
Prayer for Mercy:
Lord, look upon us from heaven where you live in your holiness and glory. Where is your great concern for us? Where is your power? Where are you love and compassion? Do not ignore us. You are our father. Our ancestors Abraham and Jacob do not acknowledge us, but you, Lord are our father, the one who has always rescued us. Why do you let us stray from your ways?
Why do you make us so stubborn that we turn away from you? Come back, for the sake of those who serve you, for the sake of the people who have always been yours. Isaiah 63:15-17
