Peter was distressed
“when you were younger,
you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted;
but when you grow old,
you will stretch out your hands,
and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God.
Jn 21:15-19
“The man who finds fault with himself accepts all things cheerfully— misfortune, loss, disgrace, dishonor and any other kind of adversity. He believes that he is deserving of all these things and nothing can disturb him. No one could be more at peace than this man.” - Saint Dorotheus, abbot
May we pray for the courage to see our true selves as revealed to us through God.
… And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”
