After a night of fishing, the disciples returned empty-handed and feeling discouraged. Jesus appeared on the shore and met with them in the early morning light. He invited them to have breakfast with Him. He had placed before them an abundant table full of fish and bread. In their disappointment, Jesus was present to them and fed them physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
Similarly, Jesus meets us at the water's edge to offer comfort and sustenance for our journey. However, like the disciples, we must recognize Him in our lives, wherever and in whomever He appears, and make ourselves present to Him to hear His invitation.
As a result, nourished by the food of His Word and the sacrament of His Body and Blood, we become His presence to others, nurturing, healing, and loving all we encounter.
