It is always interesting to me that the disciples, who we are told were trained fishermen, never catch anything unless they are with Jesus. Go through the Gospels and you will see that this is true. Their nets always come up empty until he gives the command to cast the nets. Then they can hardly bring in the catch because of the sheer number of fish they have caught. Today’s episode finds the disciples dejected, not sure where to go, ready to return to their former life and their former career. They have no idea what to do so they do what they always used to do … they go fishing. And it is Jesus once again who not only gives them the fish, but cooks breakfast for them. We too, are called to go fishing for the Lord in some way, but we’ll never catch anything if we go off on our own. Praise God that he is always willing to go fishing with us! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
