John’s Gospel does not present a sentimental view of love. This is a type of love that is shown in service and sacrifice.

We thank God for giving us a new Shepherd to lead His Church.

As Jesus has fed Peter in this meal and as Jesus feeds us in the Eucharist, so he also sends us to follow him, asking that we offer our lives in service and sacrifice.

Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are among those who are blessed for we have not seen and yet have believed.

May we continue to live as Easter People being faithful to our calling to be the people who live our life to the full as Jesus wants us to.

As we meditate on the cross, we ask again and anew what it means to make the statement of faith that Jesus, in his obedient suffering and dying, revealed himself to us as God’s Son and brought to fulfillment the Kingdom of God.

Redeemed by Jesus’ compassion, we are sent to sin no more and to live in God’s love and peace.

Through friendship with Jesus, our sins are forgiven and we, in turn, bear fruit for God.

Not only does God refuse to abandon us, he chooses to attend to us even when we show no evidence of his efforts.

As we start our journey through Lent, this Sunday’s Gospel calls us to adopt the same confidence that Jesus had in the face of temptation.
