Acts 5: 27-32, 40-41; Psalm 30;
Revelation 5: 11-14; John 21: 1-19

by Jude Siciliano, OP

Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.

From today’s Gospel reading:

Jesus said to [Peter],
“Simon, son of John, do you love me!”
Simon Peter answered him, “Yes Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Tend my sheep.”

Reflection:

The sheep Jesus is sending us to feed and care for might not be very far away: in the next room, at school, work, across the street, or the other side of town. Our prayer response at this Eucharist could be, “Here I am the Lord, ready to do your will.” Then, we listen to his response and go where he is sending us to feed his sheep.

So, we ask ourselves:

Who are the sheep Jesus is sending me to feed and care for?

Where do I find nourishment to help me fulfill his mandate?
