LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR Dear SMOW Family, Congratulations to all our First Communicants! God bless all our second graders as they receive their first holy communion this Saturday! May you and your families always live your faith with joy and sincerity. Thank you to all our parents, teachers, and catechists for preparing our young people for this most memorable and blessed day. On this third Sunday of Easter, John sets the third appearance of Jesus to his disciples amidst very ordinary circumstances. John focuses on the ordinary details in which Jesus showed him- self. The disciples have returned home. They’ve gone back to fishing. They’ve moved from the empty tomb to their boats, from the house in Jerusalem to the familiar waters of the Sea of Tiberias. They’ve traveled some 70 or 80 miles from the place of Jesus’ resurrection and given themselves to their old routine of fishing. They’ve returned to the same boats, the same nets, the same water, the same work. That’s when and where Jesus “showed himself.” It’s now two weeks after Easter Sunday and I’m betting we’ve all returned to the normal routines of our lives. But this weekend’s gospel reminds us that it is in the ordinary routine of life where we can expect Jesus to show himself to us. Resurrection does not happen apart from the routines of life, but in them. Resurrection is not about escaping life, but about living our life deeply and fully. The disciples fished through the darkness but their nets were empty. “That night they caught nothing.” The darkness, however was not just about the night sky. The darkness was also in the disciples. In the same way, the empty net is not only descriptive of their fishing efforts, it’s descriptive of the disciples themselves. They are as empty as their nets. We have all experienced darkness and emptiness. In those moments, we come to the limits of our own self-sufficiency. We have nothing to show for our efforts and nothing left to give. We are empty. Jesus showed up precisely when the disciples’ nets were empty. What are your empty nets today? Don’t abandon your nets just yet. They are the very places Jesus is showing himself to you and me. They will be places where nets will be filled with large fish, 153 of them, to nourish our life. In light of a new day, Jesus shows himself, “It is the Lord!” For most of us, shared meals also mean shared conversation, and so it does for Peter and Jesus. It was a conversation about love, freedom, and moving forward. “Do you love me?” Jesus asks Peter, not once, but three times. One question for each of Peter’s denial. Three times Peter gives the same answer, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” And I think he did. I think Jesus knew that Peter loved him but Peter needed to know that he loved Jesus. Peter needed to understand that he was not bound to or identified by his past. With each question and answer, Jesus drew Peter from his past and freed him to become himself and to be more fully alive. Isn’t that really what today’s gospel is about? It’s the same story being told through the many different details and circumstances of our lives. Jesus showed himself in the empty nets that were filled with large fish, a darkness that gave way to light, a charcoal fire, a breakfast, with three affirmations of love. To “feed my sheep” can be translated “to give food” but the word used implies more than just physical feeding of others. The text is pointing to Peter to take on the role of a shepherd, who would guide, watch, and defend the sheep as well as feed them. The disciples’ details highlight the importance of our own life’s details where we meet Jesus. We discover that we have a future, our life has been guaranteed by Christ’s life, and he has shown himself to us. What places or circumstances of your life need to be filled with courage and joy? How would that change your life? What new possibilities would open to you? What might you do differently? How would that change your relationships or your outlook on life and the world? What does a life clothed in courage, joy, and urgency for Christ mean for you? Whatever our answers might be, they are the places and ways in which Jesus is showing himself to you and me. And here’s another little detail John offers us. Jesus is never far away, “only about a hundred yards,” always within easy reach. Jesus instructed all his disciples, not only to be fishers of men by sharing the good news of the gospel with the world, but also by feeding the flock. We each are called to take this charge and care for the people of the church. How can we better serve one another and our church community here at SMOW? How can we be people who go after that one lost sheep? God, please give us a heart of love for Jesus and his sheep. Holy Spirit, show us how to be people that feed Jesus’ sheep. May we take your command to serve you with all we have seriously. Give us the strength we need to be obedient to your calling. In the Name of Love, we have come. In the Name of Love, we are here. In the Name of Love, we will go. Knowing in our Hearts and in our Souls that what we have experienced is truly Divine. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. Blessings, Fr. Rich Page 2 St. Mary of the Woods - May 1, 2022 Third Sunday of Easter www.smow.org

This basket on our Easter Altar was the wonderful
sharing from our Associate Pastor, Father Jesudas
Gudime. It originates from his Indian traditions.
The basket represents the offerings of thanks from
nature that are offered up to God in thanksgiving
for the beautiful bounty of fruits, vegetables,
flowers, wheat – some of the things we need to
sustain life.
