John said: It is the Lord! Our Path to Humility
About this episode
The episode explores the theme of humility through the recognition of the Resurrected Lord by John and the importance of being close to Jesus.
John 21, 2: Simon Peter said, ‘I’m going fishing.’ They replied, ‘We’ll come with you.’ They went out and got into the boat, but caught nothing that night. John says it is the Lord. Clearly, the recognition as a Eucharistic “seeing‑Jesus”: the disciples’ first proper confession of the Resurrected Lord at the dawn‑shore meal. He recognizes because he was a contemplative. Because he loved Jesus, was close to him, so close, so faithful. He was humble. In December of 1976 , Blessed Alvaro said: "Be convinced that humility is always a starting point"(Family letters II, 113) Music: Heartbreaking by Kevin MacLeod incompetech chosic.com Thumbnail: James Tissot, Christ on the shore of the Lake of Tiberias , 1886-1894.
