“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 said ‘Yes Lord, you know that I love you.’ He said ‘Tend my sheep.’ A third time he said to him, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’…Peter answered, ‘Lord you know everything, you know that I love you.” John 21:15-17. St. Elizabeth of the Trinity said, “It seems to me that I have found my heaven on earth, because my heaven is you, my God, and you are in my soul.”
Let us pray, Lord Jesus, your whole message for us was grounded in love. It matters more if we love you than if we know all there is to know about you. If we love you then we have made a place for you within, where you can dwell freely and love others through us. May our hearts always be yours. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
