MAY 5, 2019 THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER

LIFELONG SERVICE “I am going fishing.” What an announcement! If asked who made it, and not told it was a Bible quote, we might guess “Grandpa” or “Uncle Fred,” or admit, “I said that last summer!” But it is a Bible quote, from today’s Gospel. The person who said it also once declared, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Yes, it’s Peter! So to-day’s announcement seems quite the comedown. Last Sunday Jesus said, “As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” But Peter seems determined to return to his pre-apostolic occupation, until Jesus intervenes, making Peter’s later announcement deeper, “Lord, you know that I love you,” and Peter’s apostolic calling clearer, “Tend my sheep.” Peter does so. Acts presents the conse-quences: Peter declares, “We must obey God rather than men.” As Revelation proclaims, “Worthy is the Lamb”—to receive Peter’s lifelong service, and ours. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TODAY IS SVDP SANDWICH SUNDAY!

Today, May 5, 2019 the St. Gabriel Conference of SVDP will be collecting wrapped sandwiches for the needy. Please bring your offering by no later

than 12 Noon. Members of SVDP will be outside of church before and after Mass to receive your donations. Cash donations are also welcomed and appreciated. Many thanks for your generosity!

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

The Gospel today sees Peter and his colleagues after the Resurrection, returning to Gali-lee and resuming the family business. They are fishing by night. Although it is true that

fish feed by night, the mention of darkness here is more about the human spirit than it is about fishing advice. Modern life keeps darkness effectively under control; much of the world has been glowing radiantly through the night for a century. Yet just as surely as the Risen Christ breaks into Peter’s fishing, so does he break into the usu-al patterns of our own darkness, electric lights notwith-standing. It is Easter, and we are the people of the light. In our tradition, Evening Prayer, celebrated in monaster-ies, parishes, cathedrals, and homes everywhere, is a kind of solemn protest against the darkness and its claims, an act of praise for our light-bearing God, and a commitment to carrying that light forward. Sunset is a turning point of our day, felt less acutely in an electrified world, but still an effective reminder that one day dark-ness overtakes us all. Yet our Eastering has taught us in a hundred ways that the victory belongs to the Bearer of Light. Easter summons us to transform our everyday “blackouts,” perhaps in a way as simple as a whispered prayer of thanks at evening for the blessings of the day. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
