3rd Sunday of Easter
“Peter was distressed that Jesus had said to him a
third time, ‘Do you love me?’ and he said to him,
‘Lord, you know everything; you know that I love
you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep.’”
John 21:17
All of us are challenged to show our love for Jesus by
“feeding His sheep.” Through prayer ask God how
you should best use your time, talent and treasure to
assist those who are in need. Remember that giving
is an act of worship and helps advance the mission of
our parish and greater Church.
The threefold confession of Peter is meant to counter-
act his earlier threefold denial. The First Vatican
Council cited these verses in defining that Jesus after
His resurrection gave Peter the jurisdiction of Su-
preme Shepherd and Ruler over the whole flock.

Jubilee Year of Mercy
April 10, 2016
Third Sunday of Easter
How appropriate today’s Gospel for this Jubilee
Year of Mercy, both because of the “breakfast” Jesus
provides (“a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread”)
and the number of fish in Peter’s net (“one hundred
fifty-three”) (John 21:11–12). Of the fish, Saint Au-
gustine suggests that the roasted fish is the suffering
Christ. Saint Gregory the Great adds that Christ low-
ered himself to swim in the “water” of our humanity;
to be caught in the “net” of our death; to be “roasted”
in his Passion on the fire of suffering. Saint Jerome
claims that “one hundred fifty-three” represents the
full number of known species of fish, signifying that
the Church’s “net” has room for all our widely di-
verse humanity, securing our unity-in-diversity in the
hands of Peter and his successors. Having received
God’s mercy as “the beating heart of the Gospel,”
may the Church—we—“pattern [our] behavior after
the Son of God who went out to everyone without
exception” (Misericordiae Vultus, 12). —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Papal quotes Copyright © 2015, Libreria Editrice Vaticana. Used with permission.

As Catholic Christians we are called by our Lord to con-
tinue our understanding and knowledge of our Catholic
faith, the Sacred Scriptures, and our need to share our
faith with others. These areas are covered in our Catholic
Focus class every Sunday morning at 9:45 AM in the
Catholic Focus room in the Faith Formation building.
We receive our lessons for the week (on a monthly basis)
via email--to download and prepare for the lesson on the
following Sunday. The lessons are based on the Mass
Scriptures for that particular week. We have a catechist
that leads the class as we ponder and discuss how the
Scriptures encourage us to actually "LIVE AND APPLY
THEIR UNDERSTANDING TO THE MANNER IN
WHICH WE LIVE OUR LIVES". Adults of all ages are
welcome. We look forward to meeting and greeting you
as we grow in our knowledge of God's Calling in our
lives-to become the Disciples and Stewards we are
"called" to be. Please stop by and see for yourselves.
