On this Mother’s Day we look at the moving reflection on John 11 and see how Jesus meets our grief with compassion and transforms loss into hope. His tears and miraculous power to raise Lazarus remind us that even in our darkest moments, God’s love is present, working beyond our understanding. Embrace the promise that no ending is final, and trust in a resurrection of heart and spirit, rekindling life and purpose through faith.

Peter’s journey from denial to restoration beautifully illustrates the power of Jesus’ grace. After denying Christ, Peter is offered a second chance through the Lord’s loving question, “Do you love me?” This pivotal moment not only reinstates Peter’s hope but also encourages us that no failure is beyond God’s forgiveness. As we follow Peter’s example, let us embrace Jesus’ call to live a life of renewed faith, turning our mistakes into stepping stones towards a deeper, more purposeful relationship with Him.
