Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel…..
Friday 2 June 2017
"Do you love me ?"It is amazing , our Lord Jesus Christ does not expect us to be conscientious colleagues , diligent day-labourers of His, but that we love Him with all our heart , all our mind and with all our might!! Yes God would like us to adore Him with a burning love, that He be the most important One for us first and foremost over everything and everybody !!
Lets reciprocate our God's love towards us !
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
When they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon son of John, do you love me more than these others do?' He answered, 'Yes, Lord, you know I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Feed my lambs.'
A second time he said to him, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?' He replied, 'Yes, Lord, you know I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Look after my sheep.'
Then he said to him a third time, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?' Peter was hurt that he asked him a third time, 'Do you love me?' and said, 'Lord, you know everything; you know I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Feed my sheep. In all truth I tell you, when you were young you put on your own belt and walked where you liked; but when you grow old you will stretch out your hands, and somebody else will put a belt round you and take you where you would rather not go.'
In these words he indicated the kind of death by which Peter would give glory to God. After this he said, 'Follow me.’
John 21, 15-19
