Today’s gospel: After making breakfast with his wounded hands Jesus confronts Peter, whose betrayal was 2nd only to that of Judas. He does not ask “Who do you say I am?” (this is not a theology test), but “Do you love me?” A profound call to conversion and service.

In light of so many betrayals by the shepherds of the church—where did they lose their way? In trusting in themselves and their office more than they loved Jesus and his lambs? Jesus calls out their failure and shows that the way back is love, love, and love. (Art: F. Eichenberg)
