Simon Peter said to them: I amgoing fishing.

They said to him: We are goingwith thee also.

They went out and immediatelygot into the boat, but thatnight they caught nothing.

When the morning had come,Jesus stood on the shore; yetthe Disciples did not know thatit was Jesus.

Then Jesus said them:,Children, have you anyfood?

They answered Him: No.

So He said to them:, Cast thenet on the right side of theboats, and you will findsome.

They cast the net and then theywere unable to draw it inbecause of the multitude offish.

Therefore that Disciple whom

Jesus loved said to Peter: It isthe Lord!

Now when Simon Peter heardthat it was the Lord, he put onhis outer garment (for he hadremoved it), and plunged intothe sea.

But the other Disciples came inthe little boat (for they werenot far from land, but about

two hundred cubits), draggingthe net with fish.

Then, as soon as they had cometo land, they saw a fire ofcoals there, and fish laid on it,and bread.

Jesus said to them: Bring someof the fish which you have

just caught.

Simon Peter went up and

dragged the net to land, full oflarge fish, one hundred andfifty-three; and although there

Yet none of the Disciples dared

Jesus then came and took thebread and gave it to them,and likewise the fish.

This is now the third time Jesusshowed Himself to HisDisciples after He was raisedfrom the dead.

Gather His Holy Ones to Him.

When the Holy Shepherdsbrought together all theirPastoral Science and when

they had stirred their MostRighteous Anger now

justifiably, they drove out withthe sling of the Holy Spirit theoffensive and corruptivewolves, and from thecomplement of the Church ofChrist they expelled them all,as having fallen mortally andas being ill and incurable.

Thus they demonstrated

themselves to be TrueServants of the Lord, andSacred Mystics of the DivinePreaching Inspired by God.

Theology they clearly handeddown to the Church. Let us,the Faithful, call them Blessed,and extolling them, let us say:O Divine Battalion, HeavyArtillery of Theologians of ourLords Army; Luminaries thatshine brightly in the NoeticFirmament; the MysticalZions unassailable Towers;the Sweet-scented Flowers ofParadise; the sold GoldMouthpieces of the Logos; theGlory of Nicea and theSplendour of the Universe:Intercede insistently on behalfof our souls.
