Evening: Psalm 114, 115; John 21:15-25
People
think the resurrection of Jesus is ethereal, fantastic, otherworldly.
Yet the risen Jesus appears earthy and real. Still, the disciples
recognize him only when he breaks bread with them. The Gospel is
teaching us that the risen Jesus is different … he is known now in the
Church’s acts of sharing. Jesus told Peter to share his love by caring
for his sheep. Loving Christian community is itself the risen Jesus!
And the risen Jesus is made known when his people share with others the
simple necessities of life: “be hospitable, serve one another, love one
another.”
