Third Sunday of Easter

● Reading I: Acts 5: 27-1, 40b-41

We are all witnesses to all this.

● Reading II: Revelation 5: 11-14

The Lamb that was sacrificed is worthy to be given power, wealth, glory and blessing.

● Gospel: John 21: 1-9

Jesus stepped forward, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.

● Theme: Jesus feeds us so that we can feed and serve others.

● Reflection: Sometimes love is a challenge that calls us to go beyond our comfort zone. What is one action that you can do this week to show Christ’s love to someone who is in need of that love?
