Crucifixion of St. Peter
CARAVAGGIO
MICHELANGELO, 1550
Zurbarán, 1629
In today’s reading, Saint John the Evangelist tells us that ‘Jesus indicated the kind of death by which Peter would give glory to God’. In our painting we see Saint Peter, crucified upside-down because he said to his executioners that he did not deserve to die in the same way as Jesus. Peter tried so hard to understand Jesus and never fully grasped who He was. The three questions in today’s reading reflect that Jesus knew how Peter was always searching. Peter, just like the rest of us, simply could not fully grasp God’s love…

Miraculous Catch of 153 Fish
Miraculous Draught of Fishes, 1978
As soon as they came ashore they saw that there was some bread there, and a charcoal fire with fish cooking on it. Jesus said, ‘Bring some of the fish you have just caught.’ Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net to the shore, full of big fish, one hundred and fifty-three of them; and in spite of there being so many the net was not broken. Jesus said to them, ‘Come and have breakfast.’ None of the disciples was bold enough to ask, ‘Who are you?’; they knew quite well it was the Lord. Jesus then stepped forward, took the bread and gave it to them, and the same with the fish. This was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after rising from the dead.

Poetry & Prose
A Sonnet for St. Peter
by Malcom Guite
Impulsive master of misunderstanding
You comfort me with all your big mistakes;
Jumping the ship before you make the landing,
Placing the bet before you know the stakes.
I love the way you step out without knowing,
The way you sometimes speak before you think,
The way your broken faith is always growing,
The way he holds you even when you sink.
Born to a world that always tried to shame you,
Your shaky ego vulnerable to shame,
I love the way that Jesus chose to name you,
Before you knew how to deserve that name.
And in the end your Saviour let you prove
That each denial is undone by love.
