The Call to Ministry

After they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these others do?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Take care of my lambs.”  A second time Jesus said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord,” he answered, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Take care of my sheep.”  A third time Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was sad because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” so he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you!” Jesus said to him, “Take care of my sheep.
John 21:15‭-‬17 GNBDK

Reflection:
The call to a life in ministry is a call to proclaiming our love for Jesus. And this love is shown, when the lambs fed, the sheep are tended and fed. But how do we feed them? We share with them the bread of life; Jesus.

Prayer:
I pray that God our Father draws you close to Jesus his son. May you experience his unconditional love and and filled with peace and joy.  And may his Holy Spirit give you the courage and wisdom to tend and feed God's flock. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
