    THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER – YEAR C

    01 MAY 2022

                                                                          BREAKING OPEN THE WORD

                                                                  THE CALL TO NEW LIFE (John 21: 1-19)

     

    If the story of Israel and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus teach us anything it is that God always seeks us out in our weakness. God’s untiring love and mercy enable us to begin anew, to start again, to dare to believe that we too might come to share in the peace and joy of the resurrection.

    In the first reading from Acts, the Jewish authorities are unsettled and disconcerted by the ministry of the apostles and their message. In their fear and rage, they seek to stop them. While they focus on the fact that they are being held responsible for the death of Jesus they fail to hear that they are being called to a new beginning through repentance by changing their minds about Jesus’ identity and mission. Despite Jesus’ brutal death, forgiveness of sins is possible, a door is open for them if they can take hold of the opportunity. Unfortunately, their fear blinds them and their response is a misguided attempt to discipline and control the apostles and their ministry.

    In the Gospel, Peter, who knew the reality of failure and weakness in his life, does not make the same mistake. When he recognises the Lord, he seizes the opportunity. He may have

    Denied Jesus before his death but he will not make the same mistake again. The three questions of the risen Lord painfully call him to come to acknowledge his three denials. Jesus accepts what he can give and calls him to accept a new responsibility for the flock; a new chapter in his life is about to begin.
