제1독서
사도행전. 5,27ㄴ-32.40ㄴ-41
무렵 대사제가 사도들을 27 신문하였다.
28 “우리가 당신들에게 그 이름으로 가르치지 말라고 단단히 지시하지 않았소?
그런데 보시오, 당신들은 온 예루살렘에 당신들의 가르침을 퍼뜨리면서,
그 사람의 피에 대한 책임을 우리에게 씌우려 하고 있소.”
29 그러자 베드로와 사도들이 대답하였다.
“사람에게 순종하는 것보다 하느님께 순종하는 것이 더욱 마땅합니다.
30 우리 조상들의 하느님께서는
여러분이 나무에 매달아 죽인 예수님을 다시 일으키셨습니다.
31 그리고 하느님께서는 그분을 영도자와 구원자로 삼아
당신의 오른쪽에 들어 올리시어,
이스라엘이 회개하고 죄를 용서받게 하셨습니다.
32 우리는 이 일의 증인입니다.
하느님께서 당신께 순종하는 이들에게 주신 성령도 증인이십니다.”
그들은 사도들에게
40 예수님의 이름으로 말하지 말라고 지시하고서는 놓아주었다.
41 사도들은 그 이름으로 말미암아 모욕을 당할 수 있는
자격을 인정받았다고 기뻐하며, 최고 의회 앞에서 물러 나왔다.
제2독서
요한 묵시록. 5,11-14
나 요한은 11 어좌와 생물들과 원로들을 에워싼 많은 천사들을 보고
그들의 목소리도 들었습니다. 그들의 수는 수백만 수억만이었습니다.
12 그들이 큰 소리로 말하였습니다.
“살해된 어린양은 권능과 부와 지혜와 힘과 영예와 영광과
찬미를 받기에 합당하십니다.”
13 그리고 나는 하늘과 땅 위와 땅 아래와 바다에 있는 모든 피조물,
그 모든 곳에 있는 만물이 외치는 소리를 들었습니다.
“어좌에 앉아 계신 분과 어린양께
찬미와 영예와 영광과 권세가 영원무궁하기를 빕니다.”
14 그러자 네 생물은 “아멘!” 하고 화답하고
원로들은 엎드려 경배하였습니다.
복음
요한. 21,1-19<또는 21,1-14>
그때에 1 예수님께서는 티베리아스 호숫가에서
다시 제자들에게 당신 자신을 드러내셨는데, 이렇게 드러내셨다.
2 시몬 베드로와 ‘쌍둥이’라고 불리는 토마스,
갈릴래아 카나 출신 나타나엘과 제베대오의 아들들,
그리고 그분의 다른 두 제자가 함께 있었다.
3 시몬 베드로가 그들에게 “나는 고기 잡으러 가네.” 하고 말하자,
그들이 “우리도 함께 가겠소.” 하였다.
그들이 밖으로 나가 배를 탔지만 그날 밤에는 아무것도 잡지 못하였다.
4 어느덧 아침이 될 무렵, 예수님께서 물가에 서 계셨다.
그러나 제자들은 그분이 예수님이신 줄을 알지 못하였다.
5 예수님께서 그들에게, “얘들아, 무얼 좀 잡았느냐?” 하시자,
그들이 대답하였다. “못 잡았습니다.”
6 예수님께서 그들에게 이르셨다.
“그물을 배 오른쪽에 던져라. 그러면 고기가 잡힐 것이다.”
그래서 제자들이 그물을 던졌더니,
고기가 너무 많이 걸려 그물을 끌어 올릴 수가 없었다.
7 예수님께서 사랑하신 그 제자가 베드로에게 “주님이십니다.” 하고 말하였다.
주님이시라는 말을 듣자,
옷을 벗고 있던 베드로는 겉옷을 두르고 호수로 뛰어들었다.
8 다른 제자들은 그 작은 배로 고기가 든 그물을 끌고 왔다.
그들은 뭍에서 백 미터쯤밖에 떨어져 있지 않았던 것이다.
9 그들이 뭍에 내려서 보니, 숯불이 있고 그 위에 물고기가 놓여 있고 빵도 있었다.
10 예수님께서 그들에게 말씀하셨다. “방금 잡은 고기를 몇 마리 가져오너라.”
11 그러자 시몬 베드로가 배에 올라 그물을 뭍으로 끌어 올렸다.
그 안에는 큰 고기가 백쉰세 마리나 가득 들어 있었다.
고기가 그토록 많은데도 그물이 찢어지지 않았다.
12 예수님께서 그들에게 “와서 아침을 먹어라.” 하고 말씀하셨다.
제자들 가운데에는 “누구십니까?” 하고 감히 묻는 사람이 없었다.
그분이 주님이시라는 것을 알고 있었기 때문이다.
13 예수님께서는 다가가셔서 빵을 들어 그들에게 주시고 고기도 그렇게 주셨다.
14 이렇게 예수님께서는 죽은 이들 가운데에서 되살아나신 뒤에
세 번째로 제자들에게 나타나셨다.
15 그들이 아침을 먹은 다음에 예수님께서 시몬 베드로에게 물으셨다.
“요한의 아들 시몬아, 너는 이들이 나를 사랑하는 것보다 더 나를 사랑하느냐?”
베드로가 “예, 주님! 제가 주님을 사랑하는 줄을
주님께서 아십니다.” 하고 대답하자,
예수님께서 그에게 말씀하셨다. “내 어린양들을 돌보아라.”
16 예수님께서 다시 두 번째로 베드로에게 물으셨다.
“요한의 아들 시몬아, 너는 나를 사랑하느냐?”
베드로가 “예, 주님! 제가 주님을 사랑하는 줄을
주님께서 아십니다.” 하고 대답하자,
예수님께서 그에게 말씀하셨다. “내 양들을 돌보아라.”
17 예수님께서 세 번째로 베드로에게 물으셨다.
“요한의 아들 시몬아, 너는 나를 사랑하느냐?”
베드로는 예수님께서 세 번이나 “나를 사랑하느냐?” 하고 물으시므로
슬퍼하며 대답하였다. “주님, 주님께서는 모든 것을 아십니다.
제가 주님을 사랑하는 줄을 주님께서는 알고 계십니다.”
그러자 예수님께서 베드로에게 말씀하셨다. “내 양들을 돌보아라.
18 내가 진실로 진실로 너에게 말한다.
네가 젊었을 때에는 스스로 허리띠를 매고 원하는 곳으로 다녔다.
그러나 늙어서는 네가 두 팔을 벌리면 다른 이들이 너에게 허리띠를 매어 주고서,
네가 원하지 않는 곳으로 데려갈 것이다.”
19 예수님께서는 이렇게 말씀하시어,
베드로가 어떠한 죽음으로 하느님을 영광스럽게 할 것인지 가리키신 것이다.
이렇게 이르신 다음에 예수님께서는 베드로에게 말씀하셨다.
“나를 따라라.”

Third Sunday of Easter
Daily Mass : http://www.catholictv.com/shows/daily-mass
Reading 1
When the captain and the court officers had brought the apostles in
and made them stand before the Sanhedrin,
the high priest questioned them,
“We gave you strict orders, did we not,
to stop teaching in that name?
Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching
and want to bring this man’s blood upon us.”
But Peter and the apostles said in reply,
“We must obey God rather than men.
The God of our ancestors raised Jesus,
though you had him killed by hanging him on a tree.
God exalted him at his right hand as leader and savior
to grant Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
We are witnesses of these things,
as is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.”
The Sanhedrin ordered the apostles
to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.
So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin,
rejoicing that they had been found worthy
to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.
Responsorial Psalm
R. (2a) I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
or:
R. Alleluia.
I will extol you, O LORD, for you drew me clear
and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
O LORD, you brought me up from the netherworld;
you preserved me from among those going down into the pit.
R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
or:
R. Alleluia.
Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones,
and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger lasts but a moment;
a lifetime, his good will.
At nightfall, weeping enters in,
but with the dawn, rejoicing.
R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
or:
R. Alleluia.
Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me;
O LORD, be my helper.
You changed my mourning into dancing;
O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks.
R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
or:
R. Alleluia.
Reading 2
I, John, looked and heard the voices of many angels
who surrounded the throne
and the living creatures and the elders.
They were countless in number, and they cried out in a loud voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength,
honor and glory and blessing.”
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth
and under the earth and in the sea,
everything in the universe, cry out:
“To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor, glory and might,
forever and ever.”
The four living creatures answered, “Amen, “
and the elders fell down and worshiped.
Gospel
At that time, Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias.
He revealed himself in this way.
Together were Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus,
Nathanael from Cana in Galilee,
Zebedee’s sons, and two others of his disciples.
Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.”
They said to him, “We also will come with you.”
So they went out and got into the boat,
but that night they caught nothing.
When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore;
but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
Jesus said to them, “Children, have you caught anything to eat?”
They answered him, “No.”
So he said to them, “Cast the net over the right side of the boat
and you will find something.”
So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in
because of the number of fish.
So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.”
When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord,
he tucked in his garment, for he was lightly clad,
and jumped into the sea.
The other disciples came in the boat,
for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards,
dragging the net with the fish.
When they climbed out on shore,
they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread.
Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you just caught.”
So Simon Peter went over and dragged the net ashore
full of one hundred fifty-three large fish.
Even though there were so many, the net was not torn.
Jesus said to them, “Come, have breakfast.”
And none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?”
because they realized it was the Lord.
Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them,
and in like manner the fish.
This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples
after being raised from the dead.
When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”
Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.”
He then said to Simon Peter a second time,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
Simon Peter answered him, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Tend my sheep.”
Jesus said to him the third time,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
Peter was distressed that Jesus had said to him a third time,
“Do you love me?” and he said to him,
“Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.
Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger,
you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted;
but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands,
and someone else will dress you
and lead you where you do not want to go.”
He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God.
And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

On this third Sunday of Easter, we are presented with the third appearance of Jesus to his disciples. While the first two appearances occurred in a room behind closed doors, this third appearance occurs in a context that the disciples were familiar with: fishing. One could wonder as to why the disciples went back to their past occupation. Maybe they were trying to piece their lives back together. Apparently, they were not very successful because they caught no fish after toiling all night. Today’s gospel reading is filled with symbolism and imagery. We have the images of the disciples as fishermen in a boat, Peter scantily clad, a net full of fish, Jesus as a cook, bread and fish and the symbolism of the number 153, a net that was able to withstand a large catch without breaking, the triple questioning of Peter by Jesus, and a prediction of how Peter would die. It is impossible to reflect on all these so I will instead focus on one theme that stood out for me.
The theme that I was drawn to is that of “detachment.” Peter was still clinging on to his old occupation, his former way of life. His wanting to go fishing is indicative of this attachment. But if he was to be a true leader of this new community he had to quit relying on his knowledge, on what he was familiar with, and instead open himself to the grace of Jesus’ spirit that would guide him toward abundance. On his own, he and his companions would experience only the darkness of the night and emptiness. In verse 15, Jesus’ question to Peter: “do you love me more than these?” could be taken to mean whether Peter loved Jesus more than the other disciples loved Jesus or even whether Peter loved Jesus more than he loved the other disciples. However, if we consider the context, another interpretation could be whether Peter loved Jesus more than he loved his fishing trade. By asking Peter thrice whether he loved him, Jesus was pushing Peter to reflect on whether Jesus was more important to Peter than everything else. And, if indeed Jesus was, then the proof of this love would be in the care that Peter would have for Jesus’ sheep and lambs. Note, that it is not Peter’s sheep but Jesus’ in the same way that the net bursting with fish was not a result of the effort of Peter and his companions but rather because of Jesus’ direction.
During this Easter season, we are invited to reflect on our own relationship with Jesus. Do we truly love Jesus above everything else? Or are there ways of life, addictions to things or behaviors that come in the way of being truly free to do God’s will? Do our qualifications and knowledge become an obstacle to our following God’s direction in our lives? As we become detached from all that blocks us from experiencing the grace of Jesus’ spirit in our lives and as we strive to think about and serve others, lo and behold, we might suddenly become aware that Jesus has a fire going and wishes to cook breakfast for us.

Why didn't the apostles immediately recognize the Risen Lord Jesus when he greeted them at the Sea of Tiberias (also called the lake of Gennesaret or Galilee)? John gives us a clue. He states that Peter had decided to return to his home district of Galilee, very likely so he could resume his fishing career. Peter was discouraged and didn't know what to do after the tragedy of Jesus' death! He went back to his previous job as a fisherman out of uncertainty for his future. Six of the other apostles followed him back to Galilee.
The Lord Jesus renews Peter's faith and calling - and ours as well
Why did Jesus choose to reveal himself to the apostles at the Sea of Galilee - and right after they had spent a whole night of futile fishing? The Risen Lord was waiting on the shore for Peter and the other apostles. When their boat drew near the shore, Jesus questioned them and then gave a command to lower their nets into the sea. When their nets began to burst at the great haul of fish, John, the beloved disciple, recognized that it was the Lord who was speaking to them. Peter then immediately leaped from the boat and ran to the Lord. Do you run to the Lord Jesus when you meet setbacks and disappointments, and when you faith is being put to the test? The Lord Jesus is always ready to renew us in faith and to give each of us fresh hope in his promises for us.
Why did Jesus perform this miraculous catch of fish after his third resurrection appearance to the apostles? By looking back to the first miracle of the great catch of fish, we can recognize the significance of Jesus repeating this miracle again for his apostles. The first miracle took place at the beginning of Jesus' ministry in Galilee when the Lord called Peter to leave all and follow him. After Peter had fished all night and caught nothing, Jesus commanded him to lower his nets (see Luke 5:4-11). When his nets began to break under the weight of the great haul, Jesus then spoke to Peter and gave him a new calling and mission - from now on he would be "catching people" for the kingdom of God (Luke 5:10). Jesus repeats this miracle for Peter to remind him that he must continue his mission of "catching people" and "making disciples" for the kingdom of Christ.
Skeptics who disbelieve the resurrection accounts say the disciples only saw a vision of Jesus. The Gospels, however, give us a vivid picture of the reality of the resurrected and glorified body of the Lord Jesus. Jesus went out of his way to offer his disciples various proofs of his physical resurrection - that he is real and true flesh, not just a spirit or imaginary ghost.
Do you love me more than anything else?
In his third appearance to the apostles, Jesus prepared a breakfast for them and ate with them. Peter's prompt response to draw near to the Lord and eat breakfast with him stands in sharp contrast to his previous denial and distancing himself from his Master during the night of Jesus' arrest and trial. Why did Jesus question Peter's love and loyalty three times in front of the other disciples? It must have caused Peter pain and sorrow since he had publicly denied Jesus three times previously. Now Peter, full of remorse and humility, unequivocally stated that he loved his Lord and Master and was willing to serve him whatever it might cost.
When Jesus asked Peter "do you love me more than these?" he may have pointed to the boats, nets and other fishing companions. He may have challenged Peter to let go of his career as a fisherman for the task of shepherding the people whom Christ would call to be his disciples. Jesus may have also pointed to the other apostles and to Peter's previous boast: "Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away" (Matthew 26:33). Peter now makes no boast or comparison but humbly responds: "You know I love you."
The Lord wants to renew our minds and rekindle our hearts with his transforming love
The Lord Jesus calls each one of us, even in our personal struggles, weakness, and sin, to draw near to him as our merciful Healer and Savior. He invites us to choose him as our Lord and to love him above all else. What can hold us back from giving him our undivided love and unqualified loyalty (Romans 8:38-39)? Nothing but our own sinful pride and stubborn will, and blind fear can hold us back from receiving his gracious forgiveness, loving-kindness, and faithful love. God's abundant grace (favor and blessing) is a free and unmerited gift, far beyond what we deserve or could possibly hope to obtain through our own means. We can never outmatch God in generosity and goodness. He loved us first and our love for him is a response to his exceeding grace (unmerited favor) and mercy.
Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD) wrote in his famous confession a remarkable prayer of thanksgiving and love:
"Late have I loved you, O Beauty so ancient and so new. Late have I loved you! ...You shone your Self upon me to drive away my blindness. You breathed your fragrance upon me... and in astonishment I drew my breath...now I pant for you! I tasted you, and now I hunger and thirst for you. You touched me! - and I burn to live within your peace. " (Confessions 10:27)
The Lord Jesus wants to personally draw near to each one of us and he knocks every day on the door of our hearts and he waits for our response (Revelation 3:20). Do you recognize the Lord's presence with you and do you listen for his voice as he speaks to you in your heart and through the word of God in the Sacred Scriptures? The Lord is ever ready to help us grow in the knowledge of his great love for us and in the exceeding richness of his mercies and goodness towards us. Ask the Lord Jesus to rekindle your love for him and to transform your life through the power and action of the Holy Spirit who dwells within you.
Lord Jesus, inflame my heart with your merciful love and remove everything that is unkind, ungrateful, unloving and unholy, and that is not in accord with your will. May I always seek to love you above all else and follow you wherever you wish to lead me.
Psalm 30:1-5,10-12
1 I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up, and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me.
3 O LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol, restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit.
4 Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name.
5 For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
10 Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me! O LORD, be my helper!"
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,
12 that my soul may praise you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you for ever.
Daily Quote from the Early Church Fathers: Jesus' question to Peter, by Augustine of Hippo, 354-430 A.D.
"Christ rose again in the flesh, and Peter rose in the spirit because, when Christ died in his passion, Peter died by his denial. Christ the Lord was raised from the dead, and out of his love he raised Peter. He questioned him about the love he was confessing and entrusted him with his sheep. After all, what benefit could Peter confer on Christ by the mere fact of his loving Christ? If Christ loves you, it is to your advantage, not Christ's. And if you love Christ, it is to your advantage, not Christ's. And yet Christ the Lord wanted to indicate how people ought to show that they love Christ. And he made it plain enough by entrusting him with his sheep. 'Do you love me?' 'I do' 'Feed my sheep.' All this once, all this a second time, all this a third time. Peter made no other reply than that he loved him. The Lord asked no other question but whether he loved him. When Peter answered, our Lord did nothing else but entrust his sheep to him."(excerpt from Sermon 229n)
