In the first place, the Lord’s Transfiguration, and Peter’s reaction: “It is good for us to be here”, reminding us how good it is to spend time with Christ in the Eucharist; secondly, the moment when Jesus walks on the water, with Peter’s cry “Lord, save me!”—a cry which we can repeat at certain moments in our lives.
