3rd Sunday of Easter | John 21: 1-19

In today’s episode, we explore the powerful story of St. Vitalis of Gaza, a 7th-century hermit who risked everything to bring hope to the prostitutes. His hidden sacrifice mirrors how Jesus meets Peter — and us — at the very place of our greatest failures.

At a charcoal fire on the shore, Jesus rewrites Peter’s three denials with three confessions of love. He doesn’t shy away from our darkness. Instead, He steps right into it to restore and renew.

No sin is too great. No failure too final. Jesus is still asking: "Do you love me?"
