Friday Within the Octave of Easter
John 21:1-14In today's Post-Resurrection story, Jesus prepares breakfast on the shore of the Sea of Galilee for seven of the Apostles. They had been fishing for the night and had caught nothing. Jesus tells them to cast their nets in a certain direction, and with that, their nets are overflowing. Peter immediately recognizes The Lord, and jumps out of the boat to get more quickly to shore. They all come to have breakfast but as the gospel recounts, "And none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they realized it was the Lord."The gospel concludes, "This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead."
