There are three "moments" that were brought to my attention today: the "Judas Moment", the "Peter Moment" and the "Mary Moment".Which one is your norm?
The Judas Moment: Do you become discouraged and disappointed because you thought things would turn out a certain way and they don't? (Judas of Iscariot thought that Jesus would free the Jews from the power of the Romans.) Do you try to take control and start acting selfishly and for your own interests? And then when things get worse do you give way to despair?
The Peter Moment: Do you try to do the right things, yet often find yourself falling short? Do you give way to fear? But then, do you acknowledge your failings and try to right your wrongs? Do you use this humiliation to become stronger and more faithful?
The Mary Moment: Do you say yes to God, even when it seems as if He is asking us the impossible? Do you forge on in joy despite fear and uncertainty?
Who are you most like: Mary, Peter or Judas? Who will you choose to be today?
