TOPIC: ARE YOU STEADFAST IN YOUR WALK OF FAITH WITH JESUS?
First Reading: Acts 25: 13b-21
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 103: 1-2, 11-12, 19-20ab
Alleluia: John 14: 26
Gospel: John 21: 15-19
Jesus confronts Peter and asks him a difficult question: “Do you love me more than these?” Regardless of what was going on in Peter’s mind by this question, he simply answered: “Yes Lord, you know that I love you”! Jesus then tells Peter: “Feed my lambs”. Then a moment later, Jesus again asks Peter the same question and Peter once again tells Jesus that he loves Him. Jesus then says to Peter: “Tend my sheep”.
There are times when, like Peter, we may also not understand what Jesus is saying to us. However, no matter who we are or what positions we hold, we are still not in charge of our lives. Nor can we control what our future will be. There is one area of control available to us, however: we can decide to walk with Jesus daily and to trust Him with all our hearts.
This is the 1481st installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: As we continue to pray for Bro Bong Arjonillo’s healing and recovery, let us listen to our brother Jess Ferrer, Head of the CFC Migrants Program, as he brings us today's reflection.
All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives. This video is also available on Couples for Christ’s Facebook page. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
