Saint Pius X, Pope
Wednesday of week 20 in Ordinary Time
Gospel – John 21:15-17
This is the conversation between Jesus and Peter. Jesus asking Peter, ‘Simon son of John, do you love me more than these others do?’ And Peter answers, “Yes Lord, you know I love you”. And then Jesus says to him, “Feed my lambs”. In this we can understand that there is an intrinsic relationship between the love to Jesus and feeding his lambs. If we love Jesus, we must feed His lambs. That’s His wish. We must take care of those around us. The more you love Jesus, the more we must take of those around us. Our love to others around us, those in our family, those in our neighbourhood, those in our community, those at our work, must be proportionate to our love to Jesus. If we love Jesus, it must be seen in our dealing with those around us. Let’s reflect: Do my love towards others reflect my love to Jesus?
