Do You Love Me?

Peter's time denial of Jesus is reversed by his three-fold affirmation. "Yes, Lord,  you know that I love you." (Jn 21: 15). Having seen Peter's sincerity and contrite spirit,  Jesus commissions him to feed his sheep.  Nothing is too great, not even denial, to interfere with the compassion of God and the call to carry out a  task designated by him.  Peter is a model for us in this, so no matter what we've done or how bad we feel about ourselves, Jesus will accept our affirmation of love for him and put us to work.
May we outgrow our sense of unworthiness and put our trust in the God who can turn our gifts to his service and the service of the world around us.
