Christ Jesus, you call each one of us to follow you because you love us with a love that will never end. Although there can be hesitations and even refusals in us, help us like Peter and his companions to hear the gentle breath of your voice which says to us: "Do not be afraid. Dare to respond to my love which welcomes you as you are." And you kindle in us the flickering flame of a hope that will lead us beyond all hope.
