[Grem] Nagykedd szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus foretells the denial of Peter, which is
fulfilled in the account of the Passion. Peter later denies Jesus three
times before the cock crows and, remembering Jesus’ prediction, breaks down
and weeps.After the Resurrection, Peter and the other disciples returned to
Galilee to work as fishermen again, and there spotted Jesus on the far
shore. As Jesus draws Peter back into his circle of intimacy, we witness a
beautiful act of spiritual direction. Three times the Lord asks Peter
whether he loves him, and three times Peter affirms it: "Lord, you know
that I love you." St. Augustine was the first to comment that the threefold
statement of love was meant to counteract the threefold denial. Peter
emerges as the archetype of the forgiven and commissioned church, for after
each of his reaffirmations, Peter hears the command to tend the sheep. Once
we are brought back into friendship with Jesus, we are called to love those
whom he loves. *
