Miraculous Draught of Fishes Raphael (1483-1520)
Miraculous Draught of Fishes by John Reilly
Three times Jesus asks Peter "Do you love me?" mirroring the three denials of Peter before the crucifixion. Then comes the commands "Feed my lambs", "Tend my sheep", "Feed my sheep". I can think of no more eloquent expression of what we as people of faith should be about. Not judging one another; not criticizing each other's actions, but tending the beloved of the Lord; the poor, the lonely, the frightened, the weak. See in the faces of these a reflection of your own face and you will not be far from the kingdom of God. Amen, Alleluia!
