ISB ~ Luke 22 v31 - 32

Jesus displays a special interest in Peter both here and elsewhere. For, although Satan will test the faith of all the disciples, Jesus prays for Simon in particular (see textual note k). In this way Christ helps Peter regain his balance after he stumbles, making him a source of stability for others as well (CCC 552, 641). See note on Jn 21:15-17.
