After the crippled man had been cured,
while Peter and John were still speaking to the people,
the priests, the captain of the temple guard,
and the Sadducees confronted them,
disturbed that they were teaching the people
and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
They laid hands on Peter and John
and put them in custody until the next day,
since it was already evening.
But many of those who heard the word came to believe
and the number of men grew to about five thousand.
On the next day, their leaders, elders, and scribes
were assembled in Jerusalem, with Annas the high priest,
Caiaphas, John, Alexander,
and all who were of the high-priestly class.
They brought them into their presence and questioned them,
"By what power or by what name have you done this?"
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, answered them,
"Leaders of the people and elders:
If we are being examined today
about a good deed done to a cripple,
namely, by what means he was saved,
then all of you and all the people of Israel should know
that it was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean
whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead;
in his name this man stands before you healed.
He is the stone rejected by you, the builders,
which has become the cornerstone.
There is no salvation through anyone else,
nor is there any other name under heaven
given to the human race by which we are to be saved."

Gospel JN 21:1-14
Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias.
He revealed himself in this way.
Together were Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus,
Nathanael from Cana in Galilee,
Zebedee's sons, and two others of his disciples.
Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing."
They said to him, "We also will come with you."
So they went out and got into the boat,
but that night they caught nothing.
When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore;
but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
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."
So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in
because of the number of fish.
So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord."
When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord,
he tucked in his garment, for he was lightly clad,
and jumped into the sea.
The other disciples came in the boat,
for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards,
dragging the net with the fish.
When they climbed out on shore,
they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread.
Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you just caught."
So Simon Peter went over and dragged the net ashore
full of one hundred fifty-three large fish.
Even though there were so many, the net was not torn.
Jesus said to them, "Come, have breakfast."
And none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?"
because they realized it was the Lord.
Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them,
and in like manner the fish.
This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples
after being raised from the dead.

Meditation: "Jesus
revealed himself again to the disciples"
Why
didn't the apostles immediately recognize the Lord when he greeted them at the
Sea of Tiberias? John gives us a clue. He states that Peter had decided to
return to his home district of Galilee, very likely so he could resume his
fishing career. Peter was discouraged and didn't know what to do after the
tragedy of Jesus' death! He went back to his previous career out of despair and
uncertainty. The other apostles followed him back to Galilee.
The
gift of faith opens our eyes to recognize the risen Lord Jesus in our midst
When was the last time Peter was commanded to let down his net after a futile night of fishing? It was at the beginning of Jesus' ministry in Galilee when the Lord dramatically approached Peter in his fishing boat after a futile night of fishing and commanded him to lower his nets (see Luke 5:4-11). After the miraculous catch, Jesus told Peter that he would be 'catching people" for the kingdom of God. Now Jesus repeats the same miracle. John, the beloved disciple, is the first to recognize the Lord. Peter impulsively leaps from the boat and runs to the Lord. Do you run to the Lord when you meet setbacks, disappointments, or trials? The Lord is ever ready to renew us in faith and to give us fresh hope in his promises.

Do
you recognize the presence of the Risen Lord in your life?
Skeptics who disbelieve the resurrection say the disciples only saw a vision of Jesus. The Gospel accounts, however, give us a vivid picture of the reality of the resurrection. Jesus went out of his way to offer his disciples various proofs of his resurrection - that he is real and true flesh, not just a spirit or ghost. In his third appearance to the apostles, after Jesus performed the miraculous catch of fish, he prepared a breakfast and ate with them. John's prompt recognition of the Master - It is the Lord! and Peter's immediate response to run to the Lord - stands in sharp contrast to Peter's previous denial of his Master during the night of Jesus' arrest. The Lord Jesus reveals himself to each of us as we open our hearts to hear his word. Do you recognize the Lord's presence in your life and do you accept his word with faith and trust?

"Lord
Jesus, you are the Resurrection and the Life. Increase my faith in the power of
your resurrection and in the truth that you are truly alive! May I never doubt
your life-giving word nor stray from your presence."
Daily
Quote for Easter Week: Resurrected
Bodies, by Augustine of Hippo, 354-430 A.D.
"The
bodies of the righteous at the resurrection will need neither any fruit to
preserve them from dying of disease or the wasting decay of old age nor any
bodily nourishment to prevent hunger and thirst. For they will be endowed with
such a sure and inviolable gift of immortality that they will not eat because
they have to, but only if they want to. Not the power but the necessity of
eating and drinking shall be taken away from them... just like our Savior after
his resurrection took meat and drink with his disciples, with spiritual but
still real flesh, not for the sake of nourishment, but in an exercise of his
power." (excerpt from City of God 13.22)
FRIDAY, APRIL 26, JOHN 21:1-14
Friday within the Octave of Easter
(Acts 4:1-12; Psalm 118)
Friday within the Octave of Easter
(Acts 4:1-12; Psalm 118)
KEY VERSE: "It is the Lord!" (v.7).
TO KNOW: After the resurrection, Peter and six other disciples went fishing. In the half-light of the morning, the Risen Christ called to them from the shore, telling them to cast their nets to the right side of the boat. Although they had fished all night and caught nothing, their obedience brought forth a great draught of fish. John was the first to understand the meaning of this sign and cried "It is the Lord!" Peter was the first to act, swimming and dragging the heavily laden net to shore. Although the net held a great catch of fish it was not torn. The unbroken net is a symbol of the future mission of the Church to bring all souls to Christ. St. Jerome claimed that the Greeks identified 153 species of fish in the sea. The miraculous catch included every kind of fish; therefore, the number symbolized the day when all of the nations would be gathered together in God's kingdom. When Jesus' disciples assembled on the shore, he shared a meal with them, distributing bread and fish just as he did in the miraculous multiplication of the loaves and fish in the wilderness (Jn 6:1-13). The Risen Christ was not a vision or a spirit, nor was he a ghost. He was the Lord who conquered sin and death through his dying and rising.
TO LOVE: Do I allow the Lord to direct me despite doubts as to the outcome?
TO SERVE: Risen Lord, guide all my words and deeds so that I will bring many souls to you.
ARBOR DAY is celebrated each year on the last
Friday in April. (arbor means “tree” in Latin). The observance of Arbor Day was
founded by J. Sterling Morton in Nebraska in 1872. The National Arbor Day
Foundation encourages people to plant and care for trees and to advance global
environmental stewardship for the benefit of this and future generations.

EASTER FRIDAY.
Acts 4:1-12. Psalm 117(118):1-2, 4, 22-27. John 21:1-14
The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone –
Psalm 117(118):1-2, 4, 22-27.
‘Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the same
with the fish.’
We find the risen Jesus by the lakeside where he had invited his
first disciples to follow him. Thanks to his intervention, after a fruitless
evening’s fishing, seven of them secure in an unbroken net a great catch. Like
the two disciples at Emmaus, they recognise both him and their mission in this
sign. Moving forward, Jesus’ words in the supper discourse, ‘Without me you can
do nothing’ (John 15:5), must surely have taken on a new meaning for the
disciples.
When Jesus says ‘Come and have breakfast’ on one level he is
simply inviting the disciples to a meal of bread and fish. At a deeper level,
the offering is eucharistic and the company is restorative. It is a moment of
healing and fulfilment. Jesus prepares the way for the next scene in Simon
Peter’s discipleship journey, when he is given a mission to ‘feed’ and ‘tend’
the flock.
Saint Pedro de San José Betancur
Saint of the Day for April 26
(March 19, 1626 – April 25, 1667)

Saint Pedro de San José Betancur’s Story
Central America claimed its first saint with the canonization of
Pedro de San José Betancur. Known as the “Saint Francis of the Americas,” Pedro
de Betancur is the first saint to have worked and died in Guatemala.
Pedro very much wanted to become a priest, but God had other
plans for the young man born into a poor family on Tenerife in the Canary
Islands. Pedro was a shepherd until age 24, when he began to make his way to
Guatemala, hoping to connect with a relative engaged in government service
there. By the time he reached Havana, he was out of money. After working there
to earn more, he got to Guatemala City the following year. When he arrived, he
was so destitute that he joined the breadline that the Franciscans had
established.
Soon, Pedro enrolled in the local Jesuit college in hopes of
studying for the priesthood. No matter how hard he tried, however, he could not
master the material; he withdrew from school. In 1655, he joined the Secular
Franciscan Order. Three years later, he opened a hospital for the convalescent
poor; a shelter for the homeless, and a school for the poor soon followed. Not
wanting to neglect the rich of Guatemala City, Pedro began walking through
their part of town ringing a bell and inviting them to repent.
Other men came to share in Pedro’s work. Out of this group came
the Bethlehemite Congregation, which won papal approval after Pedro’s death. A
Bethlehemite sisters’ community, similarly founded after Pedro’s death, was
inspired by his life of prayer and compassion.
He is sometimes credited with originating the Christmas
Eve posadas procession in which people representing Mary and
Joseph seek a night’s lodging from their neighbors. The custom soon spread to
Mexico and other Central American countries.
Pedro died in 1667, and was canonized by Pope
John Paul II in Guatemala City on July 30, 2002.
Calling the new saint an “outstanding example” of Christian
mercy, the Holy Father noted that Saint Pedro practiced mercy “heroically with
the lowliest and the most deprived.” Speaking to the estimated 500,000
Guatemalans in attendance, the Holy Father spoke of the social ills that plague
the country today and of the need for change.
“Let us think of the children and young people who are homeless
or deprived of an education; of abandoned women with their many needs; of the
hordes of social outcasts who live in the cities; of the victims of organized
crime, of prostitution or of drugs; of the sick who are neglected and the
elderly who live in loneliness,” he said in his homily during the three-hour
liturgy.
Reflection
As humans, we often pride ourselves on our ability to reason.
But as Pedro’s life shows, other skills may be an even more crucial element of
our humanity than a clever mind: compassion, imagination, love. Unable to
master studies for the priesthood despite his efforts, Pedro responded to the
needs of homeless and sick people; he provided education to the poor and
salvation to the rich. He became holy—as fully human as any of us can ever be.

3) Reflection
• Chapter 21 of the Gospel of Saint John seems like an appendix
which was added after the Gospel had already been written. The conclusion
of the previous chapter (Jn 20:30-31) makes one suspect that it is an addition.
However, whether it is an addition or not, it is the Word of God, which
presents to us the beautiful message of the Resurrection on this fifth day of
Easter week.
• John 21:1-3: The fisherman of men returns to be a fisherman of fish. Jesus has died and has risen. After three years of life together with Jesus, the disciples returned to Galilee. A group of them find themselves together at the lakeshore. Peter goes back to the past and says: “I am going fishing!” The others answer: “We will come with you!” Thus, Thomas, Nathanael, John and James together with Peter go to the boat to go fishing. They go back to the life of the past as if nothing had happened. But something did happen. Something was taking place! The past did not return! “We have caught nothing!” They return to shore, tired. This had been a night filled with frustration.
• John 21:4-5: The context of the new apparition of Jesus. Jesus was on the shore, but they did not recognize Him. Jesus asks, “Little children, have you anything to eat?” They answer, “No!” In the negative response they realize that the night had been deceiving because they had caught nothing. They had been called to be fishermen of men (Mk 1:17; Lk 5:10), and they go back to be fishermen of fish. But something had changed in their life! The experience of three years with Jesus produces in them an irreversible change. It was no longer possible to return to the past as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had changed.
• John 21:6-8: “Throw the net out to the right of the boat and you will find something.” They did something which perhaps they had never done in their life. Five experienced fishermen obey a carpenter who orders them to do something which is in contrast to their experience. Jesus, that unknown Person, who is on the shore, orders them to throw the net on the right side of the boat. They obey; they throw the net, and behold the unexpected result. The net was full of fish! How was this possible? How to explain this surprise so unexpected, unforeseen! Love makes one discover. The beloved disciple says, “It is the Lord”. This intuition clarifies everything. Peter jumps into the water to get close to Jesus very quickly. The other disciples follow him, pulling the boat, and dragging the net full of fish.
• John 21:9-14: The kindness of Jesus. Coming ashore, they saw a charcoal fire which had been lit by Jesus, where He was roasting fish and bread. He asked them to take some of the fish they had caught, and immediately Peter went to the boat and towed the net containing one hundred and fifty-three fish. A great number of fish and the net did not break. Jesus calls the multitude, “Come and eat!” He had the kindness to prepare something to eat after a disappointing night during which they had caught nothing: a very simple gesture which reveals something of God’s love for us. “Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father” (Jn 14:9). None of the disciples was bold enough to ask, “Who are you?” because they knew He was the Lord. Recalling the Eucharist, John the Evangelist contemplates: “Jesus stepping forward took the bread and gave it to them.” Thus, he suggests that the Eucharist is the privileged place for the encounter with the Risen Jesus.
• John 21:1-3: The fisherman of men returns to be a fisherman of fish. Jesus has died and has risen. After three years of life together with Jesus, the disciples returned to Galilee. A group of them find themselves together at the lakeshore. Peter goes back to the past and says: “I am going fishing!” The others answer: “We will come with you!” Thus, Thomas, Nathanael, John and James together with Peter go to the boat to go fishing. They go back to the life of the past as if nothing had happened. But something did happen. Something was taking place! The past did not return! “We have caught nothing!” They return to shore, tired. This had been a night filled with frustration.
• John 21:4-5: The context of the new apparition of Jesus. Jesus was on the shore, but they did not recognize Him. Jesus asks, “Little children, have you anything to eat?” They answer, “No!” In the negative response they realize that the night had been deceiving because they had caught nothing. They had been called to be fishermen of men (Mk 1:17; Lk 5:10), and they go back to be fishermen of fish. But something had changed in their life! The experience of three years with Jesus produces in them an irreversible change. It was no longer possible to return to the past as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had changed.

4) Personal questions
• Has it ever happened to you that someone told you to throw the
net to the right side of your life, to do something contrary to your
experience? Did you obey and throw in the net?
• The kindness of Jesus. How is your kindness in the small things of life?
• Do you recognize Jesus only after signs and miracles, or do you see Him in the simple acts of life, such as making a meal?
• The kindness of Jesus. How is your kindness in the small things of life?
• Do you recognize Jesus only after signs and miracles, or do you see Him in the simple acts of life, such as making a meal?
5) Concluding Prayer
Give thanks to Yahweh for He is good,
for His faithful love endures for ever.
Let those who fear Yahweh say,
“His faithful love endures for ever.” (Ps 118)
for His faithful love endures for ever.
Let those who fear Yahweh say,
“His faithful love endures for ever.” (Ps 118)
