Do You Love Me?

I read today's Gospel through tears of joy. I was profoundly touched by the conversation between Jesus and Peter. I was moved to tears by the gentleness and compassion Jesus shows to Peter, and to us if we but ask.  The gregarious, outspoken disciple is finally humbled by the Lord and recognizes, maybe for the first time, that Jesus truly loves him, trusts him, forgives, and forgets all of Peter's failings and weaknesses. This passage is moving but we would do well to first read the entire 21st Chapter of John, a mere 25 verses to really understand how the relationship between these two men has moved to an entirely different level. John brings his Gospel to a close by taking us back to the very beginning of the relationship. Back then, Peter was out fishing all night, catching nothing, before his first encounter with the Lord. Here too, Peter, who is at this point confused, wrestling with emotions of hope and guilt, joy and sorrow, is out fishing all night catching nothing. Ag

I visited Catherine Saturday afternoon and she was moving all over. There wasn't an infection. Now we are waiting, patiently, for the fluid from her stomach to become clear so they can begin feeding her again. Please keep up your prayers. Thanks!

I just found out about Catherine as I read through my son's school papers. God has blessed her with a very strong will. The will to fight. How blessed she is at such a very young age. I see very many adults who do not have the fight she does. Innocence, purity, and a life of unknown only to God is of the little ones.

Catherine and your family are in my prayers.

Your website is uplifting. Your photos are beautiful. You have been blessed with so many talents and gifts from God.

God Bless
