Third Sunday <strong>of</strong> Easter<br />
<strong>April</strong> <strong>18</strong>, 2010<br />
“Worthy is <strong>the</strong> Lamb that was slain<br />
to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength,<br />
honor and glory and blessing.”<br />
— Revelation 5:12<br />
Invitation for a Picnic<br />
In today’s Gospel we see <strong>the</strong> Risen Jesus being a host at a picnic breakfast. His invited guests were His closest friends and disciples.<br />
The apostles were sad and were feeling <strong>the</strong> absence <strong>of</strong> Jesus and were trying to go back to <strong>the</strong>ir ordinary lives so <strong>the</strong>y went<br />
out fishing without any success. Once Jesus came <strong>the</strong>y caught a miraculous catch – 153 fish – possibly a symbolic number meaning<br />
all peoples. Some say at that time <strong>the</strong>re were 153 known species <strong>of</strong> fish and 153 nations. On <strong>the</strong>ir own <strong>the</strong> apostles couldn’t catch<br />
anything. Was Jesus reminding His friends that without Him <strong>the</strong>y could do nothing? There are probably many examples in our own<br />
lives that in hindsight we could say that Jesus was telling us you cannot just do it alone.<br />
Often Jesus ga<strong>the</strong>red His friends around Him to feed <strong>the</strong>m. This special lakeside meal <strong>of</strong> fish and bread reminds us <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Eucharistic presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Risen Jesus in <strong>the</strong> community.<br />
The ga<strong>the</strong>ring around <strong>the</strong> table is important for us as <strong>the</strong> family <strong>of</strong> believers – <strong>the</strong> <strong>Church</strong>- as well as <strong>the</strong> ga<strong>the</strong>ring <strong>of</strong> individual<br />
families –<strong>the</strong> domestic church. As a family <strong>of</strong> believers we are invited by our host, <strong>the</strong> Risen Jesus, to come, eat, live. Out <strong>of</strong><br />
His great love for us our host becomes our food. The reception <strong>of</strong> communion is a very intimate act <strong>of</strong> love to us from God!<br />
It is so important that as families (<strong>the</strong> domestic church) to ga<strong>the</strong>r around <strong>the</strong> table in our homes to <strong>of</strong>fer words <strong>of</strong> praise and<br />
thanks and to ask for God’s blessing on <strong>the</strong> food that nourishes our body and soul. Jesus comes to sit with us at our family table like<br />
he did many times with his disciples. So <strong>of</strong>ten we don’t recognize Jesus in our midst just like <strong>the</strong> apostles didn’t recognize Jesus<br />
standing on <strong>the</strong> beach.<br />
Why was it that <strong>the</strong> disciples didn’t recognize Jesus in <strong>the</strong> post-resurrection stories? In today’s gospel John is <strong>the</strong> first to<br />
say, “It is <strong>the</strong> Lord!” Is it because he is <strong>the</strong> one who seems to be more reflective, more attentive, and closer to <strong>the</strong> Lord? For us <strong>the</strong><br />
attributes <strong>of</strong> reflection, attentiveness and closeness are surely needed to recognize <strong>the</strong> Lord Jesus who is always in our midst. At<br />
times our busy lives, <strong>the</strong> constant noise around us, and <strong>the</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> a personal, familiar relationship with Him may prevent us from<br />
seeing <strong>the</strong> Lord Jesus in our everyday lives.<br />
To grow in <strong>the</strong> awareness <strong>of</strong> God in our lives it helps if at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> day we stop to ask ourselves where was<br />
God in my life today? Where did I see Jesus helping me through o<strong>the</strong>r people? When I looked in someone’s eyes<br />
did I see Jesus? With some reflection we can discover how many times we see Jesus standing on <strong>the</strong> “beach” in<br />
our home, workplace, classroom, or at <strong>the</strong> store. And <strong>the</strong>n … to what is He inviting us?<br />
