Clifton Diocese- Year of Prayer Our Gospel this Sunday invites us to reflect on two important matters of faith. The first is our capacity to recognise the presence of Christ in our lives, even when we don’t see him. The disciples only realise that Jesus is with them when he tells them to put their nets out to starboard. Suddenly after a night of failing to catch anything, their nets are full to bursting. Then it dawns on them who is speaking to them. We do not have that luxury but if we have faith then we will experience him as alive, risen and present. He is there during our joys and sorrows, when we encourage one another, when we share a meal of friendship and specifically when we share in the Eucharist. Secondly, we are invited to respond to the question asked of Peter: ‘Do you love me?’ What answer would we give to this? Can we answer confidently that, despite all our failings, ‘Yes Lord, I do love you’?
Next Weekend: Sunday 12th May 2019- 4th Sunday of Easter (Year C) Acts 13:14. 43-52 Apocalypse 7:9. 14-17 John 10:27-30
