Jesus said to Saint Peter that truly, truly, when he was younger, he used to go wherever he wanted, but that when he would grow old, someone else would tell him where he would go, where he did not want to go. By this Jesus indicated how, later in Peter's life, God would be glorified through Peter.*
And I say to you, when we were younger, we used to go wherever we wanted, but now that we have grown older, others are telling us we cannot go where we would like to go. We must stay at home. We cannot simply go wherever we want during these days of the coronavirus. And in this, you might ask, God is glorified?
Watch for further developments. Stay awake.** Use your eyes to see, and your ears to hear...***
