The Breakfast Table of Plenty
Another appearance of the risen One in today’s gospel from John 21: 1-14.
“Cast the net to the right side of the boat and you will catch some fish.” John 21:6
It is in the ordinary events of life that Jesus reveals Presence. His followers have returned to their work of providing for their families. The night is long the nets are empty. Once again Jesus gathers them around a table of plenty. “Come and have breakfast.”
Our creator God is extravagant in gift giving. From the gift of evolving creation to the gift of the Word made flesh, Divine Love continues to be poured out.
Immersed in life and love may we find ways to gather others to the table of plenty.
