This Week’s Gospel Message

Wednesday, April 27th, 2022

This week’s Gospel message for Sunday, May 1st is from John 21:1-19.

“At that time, Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias…When they climbed out on shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread. Jesus said to them, ‘Bring some of the fish you just caught’…Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them, and in like manner the fish. This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead…When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?’ Simon Peter answered him, ‘Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ He then said to Simon Peter a second time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ Simon Peter answered him, Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Tend my sheep.’ Jesus said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ . . . ‘Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep.’”

“Recognizing the Lord had always proven to be a challenge. Today the disciples recognize him in the miraculous catch of fish. But in the end, he revealed himself by breaking bread with them, just as he had done on the night before he died. Jesus’ gift of the Eucharist, of his Body, of himself, is his continual revelation of himself to us.” SOURCE: Pastoral Patterns, Summer 2022
