Friday within the Octave of Easter
John 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.

Dawg's Thought:

Today's prayer intention - for those who are in need of healing.

I want to get to that point.

There are a lot of ways in which I feel like I have come up with an "empty catch" after putting a lot of effort into something. I have a pot of dirt that had the hope of growing some Okinawan sweet potatoes that reminds me of this. One day she will grow ... (it has been over a year and a half ... )

There are other things as well in which I can say that I have put a lot of effort in and I thought about those efforts while in adoration Tuesday night. I felt like it was time for me to emote and wait for the Lord when He called me from the tabernacle ...''

"Why are you here? Is it to adore Me or is it so that you can tell me what I already know?"

Jesus called to his disciples to cast their net over the sea. Even after catching nothing all night, He calls them to do something that doesn't seem will make sense. Yet, they do it, and when they "see" they know it is the Lord.

I know a lot of people who are in economic hardships. I know a lot of people who have health issues. I know a lot of people who feel like they have been doing all that they can and receiving no consolation. In each story and in each circumstance, we know that the Lord is there. We may not know how He will respond, but we can have faith that it is His will that we want to be aligned with.

What are we doing, then, to notice Him as He calls to us? Take care and God Bless.
