Third Sunday of Easter
Third Sunday of Easter
April 22nd, 2007
St. Xavier Parish Home Page
Sisters and brothers in the risen Christ, the Holy Spirit has summoned us to gather in Christ's name to praise the Lord for rescuing us from the darkness of sin. Bathed in the glory of Easter light, we lift our voices in praise and thanksgiving.
In today's Gospel, we witness one of the Lord's post-Resurrection appearances. Jesus prepares breakfast for his disciples. Peter, who had betrayed Jesus a few days earlier, is invited to eat the fish Jesus has prepared. Just as Peter had denied Jesus three times, so today he professes his love for Jesus three times. Let us see in this simple seaside meal the expression of reconciliation that today's Eucharist offers to all who believe.
We welcome to our faith community all Fort Riley soldiers and their families. May God's blessings be with you as you serve our country. You are special to each of us.
