Day 245..."He Has Risen!!! Have a great Easter!
The reading today is from John's post resurrection account. The disciples, after returning to fishing and having no luck,encounter the risen Christ and suddenly have their nets about to burst with fish. Peter is reinstated, three affirmations for three denials, "feed my sheep" , "tend my lambs" and "feed my lambs." The foundation "rock" (Peter) for the Church is back in the fold! The risen Christ lives and so does the Church! Happy Easter!

Happy Easter
Another prospective on Peter's call... Jesus called Peter to become a "fisher of men" and three times Jesus called Peter back from fishing. The first was the first call when Peter, James and John left their nets to follow Jesus, the second was after Jesus Preached from the boat from which Peter had fished all night and caught nothing, and the third is today's reading. Maybe when Jesus asked "do you love me more than these" he was referring to "fishing" - Peter's normal life.
Happy Easter
