"Jesus said to them, “Children, have you caught anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.” So he said to them, “Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something.” (John 21: 5 - 6 NABRE).
We strive and struggle and strain to make a living or to get our hearts' desires. Meanwhile Jesus who knows exactly what we need and when we need it is waiting for us. “Come, have breakfast.” (John 21: 12). The astonished disciples could not believe their eyes or ears. Yet, this is not the first time in the Gospel that Jesus manifests such tenderness.
"He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat." (Mark 6: 31). All the years I slaved for a corporate giant, I never got such an invitation from any of my bosses.
"Keep safe, O Lord, we pray,
those whom you have saved by your kindness that, redeemed by the Passion of your Son they may rejoice in his Resurrection.
Who lives and reigns for ever and ever."
