April 10, 2016 Third Sunday of Easter

Welcome to St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church · Jacksonville AR 72076

CYCLE C APRIL 10, 2016

3rd Sunday of Easter

"Jesus said to him the third time, 'Simon, son of John, do you love

me?'" Three times, Simon Peter had denied Jesus. Now, three

times, the risen Christ gives Peter the opportunity to announce

his love. Although Peter was "distressed" by the Lord's repeated

question, ultimately this must have been a healing moment in

Peter's life. He finally had the opportunity to assure Jesus that he

loved him, thereby making up for his earlier failure and weakness

on the night of the Crucifixion.

Jesus' death on the cross sufficed to forgive us of our sins. But his

resurrection assures us that there is new life on the other side of

our sinfulness. Just as Jesus had the power to conquer death, so

too through his grace we have the power to conquer our sins. We

can live a resurrected life, we can have a new beginning, just as

Peter did that day at the Sea of Tiberias when he pledged his faith

anew.

This pledge of faith, it's interesting to note, also came with a kind

of commission. Each time that Peter told the Lord he loved him,

Jesus responded with a command: "Feed my lambs," "Tend my

sheep," and "Feed my sheep." Of course, we know that Jesus had

already established Peter as the "rock" on which he built his

church, as the first pope. Now, Jesus was emphasizing the

connection between loving him--the Good Shepherd--and loving

his people, his flock, his church. Peter's love for Christ was meant

to be manifested in his love and care for the church, as is the case

with every pope. But it's also true for every Christian. We are

called not just to relish the gift of forgiveness and the grace of

new life in Christ, but to take the next step of loving and serving

those around us.

You Did It for Me:

In Mumbai, India, there is a shelter

for girls that provides a range of

services to help combat human trafficking. Some girls at the

shelter were trafficked into Mumbai from rural India, and

others are from poor areas of the city. Thanks to CRS and

partner, Prerana, the girls can complete their education and

receive services to prepare for a brighter future.
