For 25 April 2025, Friday in the Octave of Easter, based on John 21:9-14
When the disciples had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three of them, and though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

Thanks, Beth for once again bringing the scripture home to us. ” Come have breakfast “Not just come, but we will take care of you. I pray our government will respond and that each of us will do our part.

Thanks Beth! I had breakfast with Jesus and you this morning! How nourishing! May many listen to the Word and be fed so that we may feed others.

Thank you, Beth for passing on Jesus’ countercultural invitation to Come- to live lives of expansive welcome, and self-emptying service! Imagine the world ablaze with love, as Catherine of Siena promised- if we all really embraced this call!

Beth,
Your reflection is very helpful—reminding us of the Call for:
“Inviting, feeding and serving” —-which is seriously lacking.
