Following His resurrection, Christ appeared to His disciples to assure them of His presence and to embolden them for service. In this Sunday's Gospel account-reminiscent of the miraculous catch of fish at the beginning of Christ's ministry-we see He was not only instructing them to cast the net in the water for a huge haul but was also waiting on the shore with a meal of fish and bread prepared for them. In the breaking of the bread, He revealed Himself to the disciples.

In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus narrates the Parable of the Wicked Tenants to illustrate humanity’s rejection of God. The story further details the woe that befalls the wicked tenants who rejected the son who was sent by the father. As we read Scriptures, may we be compelled to ponder if indeed we are accepting or rejecting the Son who was sent by the Father.
