Easter Friday John 21:1-14  We have two stories about the resurrection: the first reading is about the post-resurrection, when Peter and John healed a lame through Jesus Christ; and the miraculous catch of fish in the gospel, reminiscent of what Jesus did when he called Petter. Two stories.  What are they saying to us who also have a story to tell? In the first reading, Peter reiterated that the act of healing was attributed mainly to Jesus Christ, whose actions continue right to this very day when Jesus continues to heal.  There are two types of healing there: the healing of the lame, and second, the very act of kindness done to a cripple is itself a miracle coming from Jesus.

I am the embodiment of the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit works in me.  I should be an instrument of the Holy Spirit. The Gospel message is so beautiful.  "Love one another as I have loved you."  Whatever love is in our hearts, it should mirror Jesus' love for us. "I call you friends, not servants..." marks our relationship with one another. "I chose you..." simply means that it is Jesus who leads us.  Every task we do in this world should arise from being chosen to do Jesus' task.
