A Good Friday thought

This is from Charles Peguy's "The Mystery of the Charity of St. Joan of Arc":

Peter’s denial, Peter’s denial.  You have nothing to say but this: Peter’s denial.  You put this forward, this denial, you say this to disguise, to hide, to excuse our own denials.  To make ourselves forget, to forget, to make ourselves forget our own denials.  In order to speak about something else.  To change the subject.  Peter denied Him three times, So what?  We’ve denied Him hundreds and thousands of times because of sin, because of the bewilderment of sin, in the denials caused by sin.  And the cock crowed.  But for us it’s the thousandth time, the hundred thousandth, the hundred thousandth time we give Him over, we abandon Him, we betray Him.
