Renewed Purpose

Throw the net out to starboard and you’ll find something.
Jn.21:6

The risen Jesus appears to the apostles, advising them to cast their net where they hadn't been fishing. A massive catch ensues and Jesus is finally recognised.

The apostles were starting to drift back to their old ways, for fishermen that means back to fishing. Jesus calls them back to the mission he had originally set for them. The bountiful catch got their attention, the shared breakfast regained their purpose.

Easter is a time of new life, of renewed purpose. 

What is it Lord that you want me to do? Am I to cast my net in a new direction?
Saint Peter, please pray for me.
