"And Peter followed Him afar off, even to the court of the high priest, And going in he sat with the servants that he might see the end" (Matt. 26, 53)
Prelude:
Observe Peter warming himself at the fire among the soldiers and servants of the high priest.
Affections:
O Divine Savior, what bitter drops in Thy chalice of sufferings must the denial of Peter have been! He had solemnly proclaimed his faith on a former occasion, had received countless marks of Thy special affection, and now he denied Thee out of detestable human respect. I must confess that I, too, have often acted as basely. Henceforth, it shall be so no more . I will belong wholly to Thee, my heart shall beat for Thee alone.
Jesus Mercy! Mary Help!
