Our Lord made Peter our leader and model not only in looking to Christ for forgiveness and strength, but in extending mercy to others.\u00a0 This man, once afraid, hiding and lying to avoid being known as a Christian, had the strength to travel to Rome, build the Church there, and be imprisoned and crucified.\u00a0 His heart was transformed as well as his actions.\u00a0 In the garden of Gethsemane, Peter cut off the ear of a slave who had come with the party to arrest Jesus.\u00a0 The experience of his own need for mercy changed him.
