We need to turn towards Jesus, as his apostle Peter did, and say: ¡Tell us that you haven't cheated us, having asked us to give up so many things to follow you! What will become of us ?
The fate of Christians, contemplated in its entirety, is the most enviable: nothing lacks to those who deliver themselves completely to the Gospel, because it is Jesus Christ whom they have.
¡Let us repeat the beautiful words of St. Thomas Aquinas, to whom our Lord said, "You have written well of me, Thomas, What reward do you want?." Lord - the saint replied - none other than you! "
Necessitem girar-nos vers Jesucrist, com ho va fer el seu apòstol Pere, i dir-li : ¡Diga'ns que no ens has enganyat havent hagut de fer, per seguir-te, les renúncies que ens vas demanar! ¿Què en serà de nosaltres?

La sort del cristià, contemplada tota sencera, és la més envejable: no li manca res a qui ho entrega tot per l'Evangeli, ja que posseeix a Jesucrist.
¡ Repetim les formoses paraules de Sant Tomàs d'Aquino, a qui Nostre Senyor va dir : " Has escrit bé de mi, Tomàs, ¿ Quina recompensa desitges?. "Senyor - va respondre el Sant - cap altra que Tu!"
(Georges Chevrot : Simón Pedro, p.164-176, Patmos)
