At the end of John's Gospel, Jesus again shows himself to his disciples on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. At first, those disciples had difficulty recognizing him - they were fishing, and he was about a hundred yards away on shore, cooking. When they came ashore, they were afraid to ask him who he was; they KNEW it was the Lord but somehow needed to be reassured. Then Jesus took Simon aside and three times asked him: "Simon son of John, do you love me?" After Simon answered yes to each question, the Lord said, "Feed my lambs;" Tend to my sheep;" Feed my lambs and my sheep." What was Jesus asking of Simon in this exchange, and what does he ask of us? ,

A reflection on John 20: 19-29. On the evening of the first day of the week after Jesus' death, his disciples, such of them who hadn't gotten out of town yet, were huddled in a locked upper room, hiding for fear that the ones who killed Jesus would come after them next. Suddenly he is in their midst: not the broken body of a resuscitated corpse, but the glorious body of the one who Lives. And he tells them to be at peace - he brings them peace: not the world's peace, but God's. And he sends them to do what he did; he tells them that they MUST forgive lest unforgiveness prevail on earth. What does all that mean for us? I hope this reflection from the first Sunday after Easter will shed some light on the answer to that question,

A discussion of the meaning of Holy Week to Christians

What is the meaning of Holy Week for us today? As we celebrate the last week of Jesus' life, the Church invites us to reflect on the Passion of the Christ. Our salvation comes at an enormous price! What can we learn from the story of the Lord's suffering and death? We may want to avert our eyes, but the story of Christ's passion is at the heart of the Gospels. It reveals God's love for us while also reminding us of our value in God's eyes and the importance of each moment of life.

In John's Gospel, the week before Jesus' death, we hear about a dinner held in his honor at the home of His friends Lazarus, Martha, and Mary. At the dinner, Mary took a pound of aromatic nard perfume worth a year's wages (in today's dollars, it was worth more than $100,000) and poured it over Jesus' feet, anointing him and drying his feet with her hair. That was a fantastic display of love, but was it wasteful? Jesus didn't think so, and neither do I. That gift of love challenges us to be extravagant in our love of Jesus.
