| The sign of St. Peter's betrayal
On the right side of the picture next to the left calf of Jesus, there is a small rooster. Remember
Jesus said to Peter before his arrest: "Truly I say to you, this very night, before the cock crows,
you will deny me three times." (MT 26:34)
This rooster represents the sign of Peter's betrayal of Jesus and is placed there as a warning
to all of us not to be presumptuous of our strength or complacent in our faith. We need to turn
to the Crucified Lord continually and seek the grace we need for our lives.
(See John 18:25-27)
