Jn 21:1-19 Later on, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples Jn 21:1-19 Later on, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples. It was by the Sea of Tiberias, and it happened like this: Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee and two more of his disciples were together. Simon Peter said, 'I'm going fishing.' They replied, 'We'll come with you.' They went out and got into the boat but caught nothing that night.

By Easter the history beguins again, and the disciples return to fish Everything goes back to the ordinary, but everything is different, including the fighting «all nigth without fishing any thing»

When it was already light, there stood Jesus on the shore, though the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. Jesus called out, 'Haven't you caught anything, friends?' And when they answered, 'No,' he said, 'Throw the net out to starboard and you'll find something.' So they threw the net out and could not haul it in because of the quantity of fish.

Easter life has surprising dimensions It is time to participate in the fishing of Christ

The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.'

Now, at the beach, Jesus is the LORD The Lord of Life, of history, the Lord of ALL who exists, however small it is

At these words, 'It is the Lord,' Simon Peter tied his outer garment round him (for he had nothing on) and jumped into the water. The other disciples came on in the boat, towing the net with the fish; they were only about a hundred yards from land.

Peter trows himself to the water, leaving worn out securities Easter makes us hurl towards GOOD, the solidarity, the goodness, towards Jesus RESURRECTED who is the likeness of our NEW been

As soon as they came ashore they saw that there was some bread there and a charcoal fire with fish cooking on it. Jesus said, 'Bring some of the fish you have just caught.' Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore, full of big fish, one hundred and fifty-three of them; and in spite of there being so many the net was not broken. Jesus said to them, 'Come and have breakfast.' None of the disciples was bold enough to ask, 'Who are you?'. They knew quite well it was the Lord.

That our Easter eucharisties have the fresh air of a brigth morning Do not need to ask, any one at our side is the Lord

Jesus then stepped forward, took the bread and gave it to them, and the same with the fish. This was the third time that Jesus revealed himself to the disciples after rising from the dead.

Maybe it is the third, the fourth, or the last Easter we live But to participate in the easter Love of Communion of Jesus, is to enter into an everlasting ETERNAL newness Church of the spot

When they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon son of John, do you love me more than these others do?' He answered, 'Yes, Lord, you know I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Feed my lambsA second time he said to him, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?' He replied, 'Yes, Lord, you know I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Look after my sheep.' Then he said to him a third time, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?' Peter was hurt that he asked him a third time, 'Do you love me?' and said, 'Lord, you know everything; you know I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Feed my sheep.

Love is GREATER that our little or big treacherys Loving is simple, even if we had denied it three times, just want to do it Love is GREATER that our little or big treacherys

In all truth I tell you, when you were young you put on your own belt and walked where you liked; but when you grow old you will stretch out your hands, and somebody else will put a belt round you and take you where you would rather not go.' In these words he indicated the kind of death by which Peter would give glory to God. After this he said, 'Follow me.'

Jesus tells Peter and us all: “follow me” Bind us for a compromising pursuit, even if it lets us where we do not want Peter’s martyrdom

Lord, we want to continue the work that You started near the Lake Lord, we want to continue the work that You started near the Lake. Grant that no one can ever stop it
