Going back to Fishing

(Editor's Note: This reflection is from Thursday in Easter Week, 
but is published now, due to some computer problems last week!)

Thank you Lord – I am Grateful – Yes for the Resurrection

Really grateful - that Fish never became a Eucharistic Food!

How hard it is keeping things organized with bread & wine

Salmon/Tilapia - Imagine first communion with FISH!

Sometimes we live life on Auto pilot (Gloria spoken difficult)

The disciples seemed to have done gone on Auto Pilot

Today we hear how they have gone back to Galilee

     Back to fishing…fishing for fish

When they should have been è fishing for people

Today I am grateful – for many things – but in the sacred Scripture - I am grateful for the continuation of this story. how this passage concludes (which we do not hear today).

Grateful that Jesus allowed Peter to say “I Love You” so many times.

 

I can’t help but think of 2 places in the Holy Land:

St. Peter Gallicantu – where St. Peter denied the Lord 3 times

& Mensa Christi – where the Lord prepares Breakfast - bread and fish.

In the church of St. Peter in Gallicantu – there are 2 Icons – one on either side of the Altar. On the left - the image of Peter`s Denial  of the Lord 3 times  & on the right - the image on the shore of Galilee - where Jesus asks Peter Do you love me?   3 times

Here at this table of the Word is where God will greet us, 

Tell us he loves us – and allow us to say again and again how we love him.

Peace
