3rd. Sunday of Easter - God's got it!

This week's Gospel John 21:1-19  reminds us that we can rely on Jesus to give us all we need. We are blessed to be members of God's family. We are so loved that we are provided with every good thing, just as Jesus blesses His disciples with an extra-large catch of fish, and gives them a freshly-cooked breakfast! Jesus then asks His disciples to carry on the work He has begun. He gives Peter fish, then asks him to 'Feed my sheep.' Three times Jesus repeats His request- feed those I love and that the Father has given me- with your knowledge of the Good News. Thus, we are encouraged to receive from Jesus all we need to live with Him, and also asked to share that goodness and love with others. Who are the 'sheep' in your flock? Are you responsible for a family, or children in a classroom, or your work team? How can you 'feed them'? Jesus asks us to be active workers for His Kingdom in our world. Pray for guidance as to where you can bring God's blessings in your community this week. Then follow Jesus' example- you might find you have a bigger 'catch' of blessings than you can possibly imagine!
