Matthew 26:40-41. Peter Fails 3 Dec 2023
Mat 26:40 He came back to the disciples
and found them sleeping,
and he said to Peter,
'So you had not the strength
to stay awake with me for one hour?
41 Stay awake,
and pray not to be put to the test.
The spirit is willing enough,
but human nature is weak.'

It is one of the times, that Saint Peter is rebuked in the gospel. Why him, and not the others? Perhaps, he is supposed to be the shepherd of the disciples.
Pray as in the Our Father, 'No to be put to the test.'
Prayer
Jesus, what am I responsible for?
