Introduction
(3rd
Sunday of Easter)
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, good
morning!
Our belief in the resurrection comes from
the witness of the apostles. These hardy fishermen of Galilee ran away during
Jesus’ suffering and death. But the risen Jesus appears to them and calls them
back to be “fishers of men”.
In particular, Jesus rehabilitates their
leader, Simon Peter. Jesus asks of him a threefold confession of love to make
up for his threefold denial at the passion. Simon Peter, who trusts no longer
in his capabilities but in the Lord who knows the human heart, is then
entrusted with the care of the Lord’s flock.
Let us all stand for the entrance hymn!
