Third Sunday of Easter

The Gospel today presents another resurrection appearance of
Jesus. The disciples see Jesus on the shore but they didn’t
recognize him immediately. Jesus is aware that the disciples
had caught nothing , but he still encourages them to cast the net
for a catch. He says to Peter, “It is the Lord.” When they come
ashore, Jesus invites them to eat with Him.
In the last part of the Gospel Jesus turns his attention directly to
Peter. Jesus asks Peter three times; “Do you love me?” Peter
responds three times to Jesus’ questions. Peter is being given
pastoral responsibility for the flock. Peter
