Dear Parishioners,

In today’s Gospel, the disciples seem not to know what to do with themselves without Jesus, until Peter announces that he is going fishing–back to his old way of life-and others join in. Suddenly the Risen Lord appears on the shore, waiting to share breakfast with them. The bread and fish suggest that the meal has Eucharistic overtones. After breakfast, Jesus gives Peter a mission and foreshadows the manner in which he would die-all for the spread of the Good News. What does today’s Gospel tell us about Peter?

Many thanks. God Bless You,  Fr. Paul J. Alciati
