With Pentecost fast approaching, we hear Peter's three-time confession of his love for Jesus in today's gospel. We've heard the story many times, the "Do you Love Me, Feed my sheep story." It serves as a platform for us to receive the Holy Spirit again and again, with loving and dedicated hearts. If we are to be on fire with the Fire of the Spirit, our hearts must be like Peter's: aware of blatant denials and shortcomings, as well as of God's choice to work through us to show his love to others. With Peter, we need to renew our love for Jesus repeatedly, daily, hourly, continually. Challenges test our faith and our capacity to love at every turn. Since we are called to love, be lovers of others, we cannot come to Jesus enough to receive his love and strengthen our love for him. "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." "Feed my sheep." (Jn 21: 17).
