'Lord, you know everything; you know I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Feed my sheep.
Jn.21:17
The risen Jesus reinstates Peter as leader of the early Church with his three-fold question, "Do you love me?" Peter's love for Jesus is to be expressed by his love for the Church.
As Saint Paul wrote, no matter what works of piety or service I do, if I do not have love as my motive I have nothing.
Holy Spirit, help love be the fuel in my tank as I serve my local Church. Come Holy Spirit, fall afresh on me.
Saint Peter, please pray for me.
