In this Paschal homily, Fr. Vijay Thomas reflects on the powerful encounter between Jesus Christ and Saint Peter in Gospel of John 21, where Christ asks Peter three times, “Do you love Me?” Mirroring Peter’s three denials, this moment reveals that Christ’s mission is not only to forgive, but to fully restore.

Fr. Vijay emphasizes that salvation is more than reaching heaven—it is about entering into deep communion with God and learning to love as He loves. Drawing from First Epistle to the Corinthians 13, he challenges believers to move beyond transactional love toward a sacrificial, Christ-like love that heals and restores relationships.

The homily culminates in a simple but transformative spiritual rhythm: Love. Repent. Repeat. Through this, the faithful are called to reconciliation, humility, and a renewed life in Christ—becoming who God created them to be.
