Reflections
Acts 28:16-20, 30-31 John 21:20-25

"You are to follow me!"
“What about him, Lord?”

We will never know the reason why Peter asked Jesus that question. Was he distracted, curious or jealous of the Beloved disciple? The answer of Jesus to Peter shows His patient love that never stops to call him back to what is essential, “Follow me”.

Reflection
Acts 25:13-21, John 21:15-19

"Do you love me? Feed my sheep!"
Today, Jesus knows that our human frailties are obstacles to truly love Him and give ourselves to Him. He never tires of asking us daily, “Do you love me?” It is not that Jesus has His suspicions about our love for Him. Rather, He wants us to express our love, no longer by mere words or empty promises, but by allowing ourselves, again and again, to be used for His grand mission. Jesus calls us to enter into a more mature love, a deeper following.
