Today we celebrate St Pasco, the Bailon, the Gospel of St Luke,
Forgiveness of St John. Chapter twenty- one verses fifteen from now on.
Having appeared to his disciples, Simon Peter, Simon son of John loves me,
tells them after eating, more than these, he answered him. Yes,
sir You know I love you? Jesus tells my lambs to be patient.
For the second time Simon, son of John, loves me, and
answers yes, sir You know, what I love you and says shepherd my
ears. And for the third time ask him, Simon son of John,
love me Be saddened Peter that I asked him for the third time love me
and answered him, Lord you know everything, you know that I love you,
Jesus says feed my sheep? Truly, I say to you, when
you were young yourself or you girded yourself, you went where you wanted,
but when you' re old, you' ll stretch out your hands,
another will gird you and take you wherever you don' t want. This
he said alluding to death with which he will give glory to God. And
having said this, he said, follow me, Simon the son of John.
You love me more than these. The question that Sir asks Peter is
impressive, not only for the question of himself, but also for the moment,
the circumstances, etc, in which he raises himself. The disciples returned
at dawn after a long night on the lake, where fishing had been null
and void. As you approach the shore, you see a well- known
figure on the beach. After a moment, John tells Peter is the lord.
Then it opens between the eyes of all pedro immediately throws itself into the
water and, as it is, reaches the first one on the shore,
the others follow him silently gather around him. No one dares to ask who
he is, because everyone knows it is Jesus they sit down to eat.
They cross some of the other words among themselves, for they are all intimidated
by the unusual presence of Jesus. The resurrected Jesus who had already appeared to
them in other Simon moments when his mistakes still weighed him down and had made
him the humblest of them. Sitting also on the ground in front of the
food prepared by the Master, he looks at his side and with amazement and
fear sees that it is Jesus. Then look away and remain as humiliated by
the memory of his I do not know him in passion, but Jesus speaks
to him. Peter thinks for himself. My God, my God, what
a sinner I am how I was able to deny you. Now he'
s gonna tell me why you betrayed me. Betrayal had been the last great
mistake, but his whole life, even within his familiarity with him, master
had suffered tribulations because of his evil character, his strong temper that made him
throw himself without thinking of the consequences. That final betrayal had brought out all
his faults, that he was worthless, that he was very little, that
was pitiful, and so on. Simon, who knows the chill that had
to travel through his body while listening to that word reaching his heart. Simon,
and at that moment he wanted to raise his gaze towards Jesus you love
me Who could have expected this question, Who would have suspected something like this,
why I asked him this question that gave him the innermost of his heart.
Peter was a mature man with family and children, yet he was as
little as possible in front of the mystery of that capitalized companion with whom he
had met by divine providence. Imagine how he would feel when he was looked
at by the merciful eyes of the teacher who knew him to the bottom you
will call cephas. His strong character was embodied in that word stone. And
the last thing you could expect was what the mystery of God and the mystery
of that man son of God was going to do with that stone, build
with that stone. From the moment I met him, he had become master
of his soul, he had totally prevented his heart. With this presence in
his heart he looked at Peter, his wife, his children, his co
- workers, his strange friends, humble people and people and multitudes. With
his continuous memory is what he thought and what he did. Simó loves me
yes, sir I love you, but how could I answer like this after
all that I had sinned. That was the affirmation that he recognized in him
a supreme excellence, an undeniable supremacy, a sympathy that drew all others.
Everything was gathered inside that look. It was as if his whole life passed
over to a background in front of a fidelity that felt like flesh, his
flesh in front of the way of life of the encounter had borrowed in him.
In fact, there was no more if at any time. In fact,
there was no time when Jesus would remind him that he had denied him.
The same question echoed, Simon, you love me for sure, but
trembling answered again yes, I love you. But the third time Jesus gave
him a question of mine, he had to ask Jesus himself to be confirmed
and hard it varies another could say yes, Lord, you know. You
know everything You know I love you. My whole life the preference of my
soul, my whole heart is for you. You are what I want most
in my life, the supreme good of things. I don' t know.
I don' t know how? I don' t know how?
Say it and I don' t know how it is. But, despite
everything I' ve done, despite everything I can have done, I still
love you. This is the origin of true humor, true morals, the
first breath of coherence and fidelity in the arid desert of the institute, the
instinct of forgiveness and pure relationship. Morality is rooted in that yes of Peter,
a yes that can take root in the land of man only thanks to
the presence of the Lord who understands, accepts, embraces and who is served
with all the puja of our heart, who only thus can be like the
child again, humble, simple, without nobles. But why he does from
Simon to Jesus is so important. Peter had fallen a thousand times and yet
I felt a huge love of Christ. It cost that everything could think of
living, that everything could live without Christ. His life was not understood without
the teacher, that everything was enclosed in his eyes and in that or face,
in that heart, Christ was the source, instead of his hope,
even if they had reminded him of everything he had done and what he could
have done, that this was still in the fog of his objections, the
light of full light, the source of light of his hope. And I
esteemed him above forgiveness and esteemed him above anything, anything, and person.
The first moment he had felt a look for him loved you for that because
he had looked at him a man so sinful, simply because he wanted to.
Yes, sir, you know you' re the ultimate object of my
life, my ultimate love. Thus is born the consciousness of good and evil
in man and yet the expression of generic. Yes, I love you,
but it' s as generic as it is capable of engendering the change of
life we need. Who has this hope. In him he purifies himself and
since he is pure, we have our hope placed in Christ, in that
presence which, however distracted and lacking in memory, we will not succeed in
eliminating from our hearts because of the whole tradition through which he has come to
us. In relation to it, statistics are not important, it does not
count the measured and measurable weight and much less counts all the evil we have
been able to do in the future. A force is born from the bottom
of us, making you want to act in a more just and kind way.
It springs from the bottom of our heart, the flower of desire,
of justice, of authentic true love, of being capable of grandeur, of
service, of giving, just as the beginning of each of our acts,
is not a judgment of what the eyes see, but a embrace to what
the heart expects. Nor is perception the fulfillment of laws, but adherence to
a person who is Christ, the love of Peter, our love. Only
if we live this hope in Christ will our whole life be maintained in the
struggle, in the effort to tend toward good and even if we have manifest
contradictions, we will always be well with them. Always excel, as it
is the last word about ourselves, about the day passed, about the present,
the past and the future. And so we learn to leave the past
in God' s mercy, the future in his providence and the present in
love. I give you an almighty blessing God Bless you on this day when
Christ ascended into heaven and opened the entrance of glory for you to come to
be with him, Christ who seemed to the disciples after the resurrection, manifests
himself also to us, full of mercy, when he comes to the final
judgment and when he proclaims a glorious beside the father, grants you the joy
of experiencing that he remains with us to the five of the world, as
promised, and blessed by God the almighty father, father, son, and
holy spirit, saying upon you, and abide ever amen.
