Look at Simon Peter. Although Jesus chose him to be the leader of the Twelve Apostles, although Jesus built His Church on him, although he was the first pope, Simon Peter struggled through in following Jesus. He had many blunders along the way.
Tingnan natin si Simon Pedro. Bagamat siya ang hinirang ni Jesus na mamuno sa labindalawang apostol, bagamat sa kanya itinayo ni Jesus ang Santa Iglesiya, bagamat siya ang kauna-unahang Sto. Papa, napakahirap ng pinagdaanan niya sa pakikibakang ganap na sundan si Jesus. Ilang beses siyang pumalpak.
