“I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.” (Isaiah 49:6)

We are called to be a light to the world. To be a witness for Jesus in our thoughts, words, and deeds.

Peter was a faithful Apostle, but then denied Jesus three times before he realized his mistake and repented. Let’s examine our own lives to identify weaknesses or temptations that may cause us to betray Our Lord if we are not careful.
