John 21:1-19 (short form:John 21:1-14)
In the gospel reading Jesus
identifies himself as the shepherd: “My sheep hear my voice. I know them,
and they follow me”(John 10:27). Remember, each week we take Jesus inside us in the Eucharist and our
greatest protection and shepherding comes from within. Take the time to listen
to Jesus. Spend some quality time this week with Jesus. Just a few minutes to
listen quietly or reflect on his words can change your day. That is how we are
nourished. And that is how we can be judged.

Todays
Gospel presents to us the scene of Peter's repentance as three times Jesus asks
him to make a profession of love. Jesus then explains just what Peter's love
and leadership will require, foretelling Peter’s death by crucifixion:
"you will stretch out your hands". This is agape love, that is
self-forgetting love. Mother Theresa of Calcutta speaks of 'loving till it
hurts'. That is Christian love. Can we love this way? Can we love the way Jesus
loved?
