Jesus had predicted that his disciples, when they had to face a public scrutiny  would be filled with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit and become able to articulate the truth that he had revealed to them.

This is what happens in today's first reading and as Peter responds to the same High Priests who had asked Pilate to order the crucifixion of Jesus his words become part of the wisdom  of Scriptures which are our only guide to the Eternal Life that has been prepared for us by Jesus, Son of God and Son of Mary, the Eternal WORD. 

And there is salvation in no one else,

for there is no other name under heaven given among men and women by which we must be saved

In the Gospel John recalls the events that occurred in Galilee after the women reported the message of the angels recorded by Matthew and Mark. 

It is impossible for me to attain to the same level of  awareness of the presence of IAMFTHERSONHOLYSPIRIT that was experienced in real-time by the fishermen who saw the Resurrection cooking fish over a fire on the shore of Lake Tiberias.

It is fundamental to my Faith that the scene I can recreate in my imagination was as real 2000 years ago as I am now sitting  using my fingers to transfer to this machine my efforts to raise my mind and heart to God who in his love for me and the whole world, revealed during his lifetime, TRUTH that brings us to the Eternal Life that has always been his vision for us.

This morning Jesus, the Resurrection is tending a fire and barbecuing fish for his friends. A few days ago the same Jesus was breathing out his soul at the completion of his Mission and assuring for us that there is a Church of Love, a New Holy Family where he can be found until the end of time.

"Woman behold your son. Son behold your mother."
