Timmerie just rocked this episode of Trending with a commentary on St. Peter’s wild rollercoaster of a spiritual journey: from face-palming mistakes to fearless faith. 😬✝️🔥

 

She kicks it off reminding us why the whole world, Catholic or not, keeps one eye on the Catholic Church: because God’s authority in His Church is undeniable, magnetic, and kind of a big deal. And with all eyes often on Rome, especially during a papal election, she turns ours to... Peter, the first Pope.

 

He wasn’t born a saint. He struggled, and it’s the best news ever for us.

 

 

Peter the Passionate (a.k.a. The Guy Who Told Jesus He Was Wrong... Oops)

 

-Timmerie says that Peter was dramatic. Like, theatrical.

 

-He told Jesus, “God forbid, you won’t suffer and die!” 😳

 

-Jesus responds: “Get behind me, Satan.” 😬 Yeah… not great.

 

Here’s the key: Peter failed hard, but he kept coming back. Even after denying Jesus three times, he didn’t stay stuck in shame. He ran back to Christ... and so should we.

 

 

💔 “Here I Am, Lord…” (Even When I Mess Up)

 

Timmerie reminds us: every time we sin, we deny Christ, just like Peter. What sets saints apart is what they do after they mess up. Peter models radical repentance, and that's a masterclass in holiness.

 

✨ Tip from Timmerie: Run to confession. RUN. 🏃‍♀️ Don’t be scared. Jesus wants you back.

 

 

🛶 When Jesus Walked on Water (and Peter Sank Like a Rock)

 

She takes us through John 6 and Matthew 14, where Peter literally steps out of a boat onto the sea. Epic courage... until he looks at the waves instead of Jesus and starts sinking. 

 

💬 Peter: “Lord, save me!”


🙌 Jesus: immediately grabs him.

 

Moral of the story: Even when you're in over your head, Jesus is just one desperate cry away.

 

 

⚓ “To Whom Shall We Go?”

 

Even when many people walked away from Jesus during the Bread of Life discourse, Peter stays. His words were utter gold:

 

“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” 💔🔥

 

That’s the heartbeat of the faith. Not perfect understanding, but faithful love.

 

 

🔥 Takeaways from St. Peter's Messy, Beautiful Journey:

 

-Name change = mission change. When Jesus renamed Simon to Peter (aka Rock 🪨), he received a new identity.

 

-Friendship with Christ takes time, but it also transforms us.

 

-When you fall, get up fast and grab Jesus’ hand.

 

-Courage ≠ lack of fear. It’s acting anyway.

 

-Fortitude (acting even unto death) is the muscle of the saints.

 

 

🚨 Final Pep Talk from Timmerie:

 

Jesus is saying to YOU:


“It is I. Do not be afraid.”

 

💡 Live the sacramental life. Stay in a state of grace. Confession and Eucharist are your lifeline. 🌊🚢

 

Be like Peter: not because he was flawless, but because he never stopped trusting Jesus, especially when he fell. ✝️❤️

 

 

Ready to run to confession yet? 🏃‍♂️
