Whenever I ask myself this question I find that I identify with someone different, some of whom I am not exactly proud to admit. As you ponder these reflections, ask yourself which of the people present during the Lord's passion, death and resurrection do you most relate to. It is important to not be fearful of the answer, but rather to allow the Lord show you the truth, strengthening you in your goodness and virtue, and gently correcting any weaknesses.
Each reflection provides a scripture verse, an exploration of the characteristics of one of the people present during Lord's passion, and a prayer. Although I originally posted these as Holy Week meditations, they can be used at any time to enter more deeply into the mystery of the Lord's suffering and death.
Am I Peter?
Am I Pilate?
Am I Simon?
Am I the Good Thief?
Am I the Centurion?
