Dear Saint Peter,
How did you feel when Jesus was on the cross? What did you think
when you found his tomb open?
You must remember this, we did not know what was going on in those
days. We knew only that Jesus the Rabbi was a wise teacher and we
had to follow him and let him guide us where he wanted. The day he
died was the blackest of days. You cannot imagine such pain. First
we had let him down, and then to see him on the cross was beyond
bearing. We wanted to die, too, but could not take that action. The
followers needed us, even though we could do little for we were
afraid for our own lives.
When we went to the tomb, we thought that someone had stolen his
body, which would have been an unthinkable desecration. Our grief
became worse and for days we could do little but rend our clothing
and walk in circles decrying God. We thought we saw him from time to
time, but could not believe such a thing and we thought we might be
hallucinating because in our pain we had eaten and drunk very little
to show our respect for him.
We certainly did not think we were part of a miracle!
It was on Pentecost that we realized the true divinity of this God
made Man. As we gathered from all over and met in the mountains to
share our experiences, the Gift of Tongues was given to us, but the
greater gift was the Gift of Passion to spread the story of Jesus
throughout the land. We were humble people and to be able to speak
and understand any language and then to be made aware of the
enormity of Jesus and his life was the true beginning.
That is the
day I remember the most.
If you want to meditate on a miracle, meditate on the Miracle of
Pentecost, for that is the day that we knew Jesus was our Savior and
we took him into our hearts. That is the day we vowed to spread his
words until our own deaths.
That is the day we Believed!
Peter |
