Acts 5:28-32, 40b-41; Revelation 5:11-14; John 21:1-19

In today’s Gospel, we find the disciples fishing, not catching much, not sure what to do next. They’ve seen the risen Jesus, but life hasn’t gone back to “normal.” Into that uncertainty, Jesus appears again. He doesn’t lecture them. He makes breakfast.

That’s our God, not just majestic, as in Revelation where angels cry out, “Worthy is the Lamb,” but also deeply personal. He meets us in ordinary moments and cooks for us, restoring our hearts when we’ve failed.

Here’s a reminder: Jesus doesn’t show up just in the holy places only. He meets us in our workplaces, on the streets, in our kitchens, even in our moments of doubt and trepidation.

Peter knows failure. He denied Jesus three times. But now Jesus gives him three chances to say, “I love you.” That’s not coincidence; that’s grace.

God isn’t looking for perfection, He’s looking for love. “Do you love me?” Jesus asks Peter. Not, “Did you mess up?” or “Can you explain yourself?” Just, “Do you love me?” And when Peter says yes, Jesus says, “Feed my sheep.” Love isn’t just a feeling, it’s a mission.

In Acts, the apostles are flogged and threatened, yet they rejoice. Why? Because suffering for Christ meant they were living with purpose. They weren’t trying to be liked; they we

re trying to be faithful.

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. Someone once asked, “How do I know if I’m called to be a saint?” The reply? “If you’re baptized and still breathing, you qualify.”

We are loved. We are called. Jesus meets us in our doubt, failure, and ordinary routines, not to scold, but to restore us. Jesus invites us to breakfast… and to mission. So, Eat, Be Filled, and Feed Others.

And if we’ve denied Him, Come Back. Grace always gets the last word.

Your Priest,
