"Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them, and in like manner the fish. This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead." John 21:13-14
If you close your eyes you can almost smell the bread Jesus prepared for them. You can feel the desire in Peters heart(would need to read John 21:1-14). Peter had the desire to be united with Christ, God created this desire. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and God is preparing Peter for a lifetime of being united. When God wants to get His point across He reinforces it several times. We have the same opportunity as Peter to be united with Christ, to be in His presence. The fire is the Holy Spirit burning within, will you jump in or play it safe on the boat? Jesus and bread again, I love the subtle ways God gets us to think about our faith and the importance of His images.
Dear Father, You are offering us Yourself in gentle ways, preparing us for what is to come, helping us focus only on today and giving us Your presence in the Holy Eucharist. I thank You for being what satisfies my heart. I thank You for drawing me out of the boat to come to You. I thank You for this day. You take the wheel and may I praise You today in word and deed. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us.
