This reading was not heard today but last Sunday. It is not a problem, there is something to learn anyway...
To go further
Details
Saint Peter will arrange so that the rooster does not sing (Jesus told him "Before the rooster crows twice, you yourself will disown me three times")
-By this image, I want to underline the fact that there is no "predestination". It is not because the rooster sings that Peter will disown Jesus. It is not because Jesus gave a mouthful to Judas that Satan enters in him. The devil is not in the mouthful, he is in the heart of Judas who has already decided to accomplish his demands. Jesus does not consider Judas as his enemy, he gives him opportunities (when Judas delivers him, Jesus still calls him "my friend" and he really means it)
-Jesus said "this is my body delivered FOR you". He could have said "delivered BY you", but he keeps the initiative. He gives his life actively, and not passively.
Questions
-It is easier to accuse "destiny", things, people, and try to get rid of the issue, rather than looking at our responsibility head on, concerning evil and sin.
-It is not by knocking the rooster out that my heart will change.
-What are the roosters that I want to knock out ? Which are the people that I want to accuse to clear me of my sins ? of my responsibility ?
