Jesus appears a third time to some of the Apostles, and provides a breakfast for them. He restores Peter by asking some hard questions, and giving him a mission. The Lord is asking us the same question, and inviting us to be more that fans or followers. He calls us to be friends and family, and to show our love. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: http://eepurl.com/ioCgy2 Give feedback at https://forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/050425.cfm

The scribes and pharisees bring forward a woman caught in the act of adultery, and attempt to trap Jesus in asking if she should be put to death. He responds with an act of mercy, showing forgiveness.
