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

Here are some pictures taken over the past week or so while Grandpa Dave and Mimi were visiting. Comments below the pictures....
#3 loves to hold Catherine

Since Catherine was baptized minutes after her birth we celebrated an official welcome into the Church service with Fr. William Hahn (uncle Bill). Above is the smiling Hahn family.


Some very happy and proud big brothers.

Only Granpa Dave could get them to sit still long enough for these pictures.

Granpa Dave and a very sober # 4

Yes, he is the most ornery of the bunch. Why do you ask?
