 SOME THOUGHTS ON TODAY’S GOSPEL    

Aren’t there moments in times of need when helps seems to come from an unexpected source and we sense the presence of the Lord. The unexpected catch of fish was such a moment for the disciples. Pray for light to recognize such a moment in the recent past. “Come and have breakfast.” A homely invitation! Jesus knew the hunger of these men after a night’s fishing. He knows our needs too. We need to tell the risen Jesus of our needs right now. Wait quietly to receive Jesus’ to be linger in his presence as he looks at you with a smile of affection.

 

 

The 3rd Sunday of Easter

LITURGY OF THE WORD

1st Reading

ACTS 5: 27-32, 40b-41 (Preaching the Name)

What a strong faith the Apostles persevere in the mission that Christ

has given them.

 

RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 30 (Divine Security)

“I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me”

 

2nd Reading

REVELATIONS 5:11-14 (The Throne of God)

The power and the glory of God are acclaimed by his creation.

 

In today’s Gospel of John 21:1-19 (Christ is Lord)

Again, the risen Savior appears to his disciples in a very human way. Peter on three affirmations rejects his triple denial and again, hears the call “Follow Me”.
