THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER
States and provinces regulate fishing seasons within their
own boundaries. For some species, the fishing season is
open all year long. For others, there is only a brief time that
the fish can be legally taken. The season for sturgeon spear-
ing in the upper Midwest can last just a couple of days de-
pending on where the spearing takes place and when the
limit imposed by regulation is reached. According to data
collected in 2011 by the US Census Bureau, over thirty-
three million Americans go fishing. In that year they spent
nearly $42 billion on fishing activities including trips,
equipment, and licenses. The number of people going fish-
ing jumped by eleven percent from 2006, making it one of
the most popular outdoor activities.
Peter's fishing trip in this weekend's Gospel is not quite as
involved as some trips that modern day fishermen might
take. Since he was a fisherman by trade, he likely walked
out of his house, grabbed a few of his buddies, and went out
in the boat for the night hoping to make a good catch. While
there was always preparation to be done (mending the nets,
repairing the boat, etc.), from the Gospel story it seems that
Peter's decision to go fishing was pretty spontaneous. It was
near dawn when Jesus showed up and they caught a tremen-
dous amount of fish.
Any avid fisherman is always ready to go out and fish.
Once you're out there, it could be just the right moment to
pull in a lot of fish. Like a fisherman, we never quite know
when the moment may come to "catch" someone for Christ.
As Christians, we always have to be prepared to tell the sto-
ry of who Jesus is for us, not in any kind of "preachy" way,
but by living our lives as kind and loving people. The wit-
ness that we give by our example is the only kind of net we
need to attract others to the Lord.

SHARING THE GOSPEL
After Jesus rose from the dead, he must have looked very different. Jesus helped his apostles catch a lot of fish, just as he
had done before. Jesus invited his friends to eat with him, and he still broke his bread to share it in the same way he always
had. The disciples still recognized Jesus by the things he did.
Prayer
Dear God, help me to always recognize Jesus.
Something to Draw
Draw a picture of Jesus cooking fish for his friends.
Mission for the Week
Invite a friend over to eat dinner with your family, so you can share food just like Jesus did.
