SIMON, CALLED PETER In the Company of a Man in Search of God by DOM MAURO-GIUSEPPE LEPORI, O. CIST.

Simon Peter, the fisherman who was both attracted to Jesus and repelled by his own weakness, is he not a model for many of us who desire to love and trust the Lord completely, yet who struggle daily to pick up our own crosses and follow Him? Abbot Lepori’s profound meditation on the relationship between Our Lord and St. Peter invites us to consider our own relationship with Christ. As he imaginatively retells the well-known stories from the Gospels, he revivifies them and makes them present to us, deepening our understanding of the calling each of us has received from Jesus and strengthening our confidence that the Lord will, indeed, bring to  completion the work of love He has begun in us.
