The Lord Is My Chef Easter Recipe by Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II
Friday in the Octave of Easter, 05 April 2023
Acts 4:1-12 <*{{{{>< + ><}}}}*> John 21:1-14
You are Easter,
Lord Jesus Christ
and nobody else,
nothing else.
Period.
Until now,
I exclaim in joy
like the beloved disciple
whenever I realize
it is You, Jesus,
making wondrous things
for me even from afar;
it is You, Jesus,
whom I find as the
sole reason
and meaning
for every blessing
and good thing that
comes my way
in life;
when I look back in life,
especially on those days
like this scene today
when I have tried
to forget You, Jesus,
that is when You come,
when You appear,
when You tell me to
cast the net anew
to catch some fish.
So he said to them, “Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something.” So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish. So the disciples whom Jesus loved told Peter, “It is the Lord.” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tucked in his garment, for he was lightly clad, and jumped into the sea.
John 21:6-7
Forgive me, Jesus,
when I act like the elders
and priests of Jerusalem,
always wondering
and doubting
on Your powers
and grace
to heal,
to restore life,
and
to forgive sins;
forgive me,
Jesus,
for the times I have rejected
You like the stone rejected
by builders
who have become
the cornerstone.
Amen.
