This weekend I would like to make myself accessible before or after each Mass for those who wish to say goodbye to me before my final departure, which will take place in about a week on the feast of our patroness, St. Anne. Since it will be impossible for me to greet everyone personally, and since this is the last time I will address you at the weekend celebrations, I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank you all for the messages, letters, emails, gifts, prayers and gestures of affection that you have given me, especially in the last few weeks. For some time now it has been impossible for me to respond to the outpouring of communications and I hope that my words today will reach all of you, like those bottles in stories that are thrown into the ocean by those who live on deserted islands, in the hope that they will reach, through the storms, across the sea, the people who are meant to receive them. I am taking your letters with me to read them slowly when I am in Spain. The most important thing, however, is to preserve the union that exists among all in the mystery of the Communion of Saints. United to Christ by sanctifying grace, we are all united to one another as branches of the same vine, and that is a union which neither physical distance nor death itself can undo. This Sunday's readings, in both the ordinary and extraordinary forms of the Eucharistic celebration, help us to understand both the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the fundamental mission of the priest. In the ordinary form we have heard two very special stories in my opinion, because among other reasons on my pilgrimage on foot in the Holy Land four years ago, I had the grace to visit both the Oak of Mamre in the city of Hebron, where Abraham received and served God in those three mysterious characters that represent the Holy Trinity, and Bethany, where Jesus was received by Martha and Mary, and where the Gospel scene that we have all just heard takes place. The Gospel of the Tridentine Mass takes us to the shore of Lake Tiberias, where the Lord performs the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and thus feeds the hungry multitude. The first part of the Holy Mass, which we call the Liturgy of the Word, focuses on listening to the Word of God. In this first part in which we now find ourselves, we should all be like Mary of Bethany and place ourselves at the feet of our Master to learn from him who speaks to us. Listening, obviously, does not mean simply hearing with our ears the readings that are proclaimed, but welcoming into our souls the Word that gives eternal life. It is to model our heart and our behavior, our life and our inner world, according to the message of Christ that is actualized for us by the Church. That is the mission of the priest or the deacon when we preach: we are not here to give our opinions, but to bring you the teaching of Jesus, as if we were the echo of his voice in today's world. Today I want to thank you for having always listened attentively to my word, which so often has been a fragile word, and sometimes mispronounced. In the fragility of my word, I hope that you have been able to hear the very Word of God and the Wisdom of the Cross, which is in reality the living Person of Christ. As St. Paul says in today's second reading: "It is he whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.” Secondly, after the Liturgy of the Word, and after listening to Jesus as Mary did, with all our attention and all our love, the Lord feeds us with the Bread of Life, which is Holy Communion. The text of the Gospel of St. Mark heard this Sunday in the Tridentine Mass underlines the words of Jesus before working the miracle of multiplication of the loaves: "I have compassion on these people". The Lord, still today, takes pity on our poverty, on our helplessness, on our extreme weakness without him. And so, he works the Eucharistic miracle: The Bread truly becomes the Body of the Lord. The wine becomes his very Blood, and thus becomes the nourishment and strength of those who receive him in a state of grace. For this to happen, the priest must cooperate with the God who desires to satiate the heart of man. We are first asked to give what little we have and are: our seven loaves which are nothing, but which, in the hands of Jesus, multiply to satisfy the hunger of the world. Then he asks us to distribute this bread, to serve him as the apostles did or as Abraham did by the Oak of Mamre. This continues to be the case today. If we listen to the Word of Jesus, if we place our poverty in God's hands, he can continue to save the world. The ministry of preaching and sacramental ministry are part of the essence of the priestly vocation: in these ten years, with countless shortcomings, this is what I have done for you. The new pastor, Father Keith, will continue to carry out this service for you: his word will not be his own, but Jesus'; the food that he will put in your mouth will be the same that I have been distributing to you for the past ten years: Jesus. Although the accessory, which is us, may change, what is substantial and important, which is Jesus, remains. So it is and will always be in the history of the Church until the end. Thank you all for your affection, your trust, your patience and your understanding during these years. I invite you to always seek the only important thing (Lk 10: 42), to live for God in Christ Jesus (Rm 6:11), and to dwell always in the Church seeking together the Will of our Father. Let us be like Abraham, and serve God by being hospitable to our brothers and sisters. Let us be like Mary of Bethany, and let none of Jesus' words be lost. Let us be like the disciples, and share freely with our brothers and sisters what we have received freely. And in this way, may we work together in the Church for the salvation of the world and deserve one day to rest together in the joys of heaven.

Over the past few days I have been working on a tourism report among nature, relaxation and wellness in the beautiful Molise region of Italy. The work will be published soon at www.crono.news. After visiting the Lake of Castel San Vincenzo - in Molise region - Italy, in an enchanting setting that has nothing to envy Lake Tiberias in Galilee, it was thrilling to drive to the Valle Fiorita Plateau at an altitude of 1,500 meters, after no less than 20 tricky switchbacks. It was like being in a Sergio Leone's spaghetti western, with about 40 head of cattle including cows, bulls and horses grazing in the blinding green vegetation on the slopes of the majestic Molise Mainarde mountain range. The animals watched me curiously, and I will not deny that this frightened me. So did I, attracted by the hypnotic sound of their cowbells reverberating among the great spaces, like a celestial orchestra. I could not help but think of one of my favorite Indian Ragas, the Ahir Bhairav. It is a morning Raga, and since the word "Ahirs" means herdsmen and milkmen, this Raga evolved from the tinkling of cow bells in the early morning as they are being milked. Although I had my Rav Vast Drum with me, capable of producing equally dulcet sounds, I preferred not to alter the harmony that reigned around me. https://ravvast.com/ I hope you will sense the excitement in my voice as I was experiencing that moment full of joy and surprise. https://www.visitmolise.eu/.

There is something truly powerful recounted in the scene described in the first reading today. A group of simple, unlettered fishermen is brought before the highest Jewish authority of the time, the Sanhedrin, the same men who had sent Jesus to the cross a few weeks earlier. These fishermen, who had fled during the fateful night of Good Friday, who had then barricaded themselves in a room with the doors and windows closed and locked in fear of these same men, now looked into their eyes and courageously held their gaze. At the front of this group, stood the one who had denied his Master three times and who swore he had never met him. Undoubtedly, being summoned before the Sanhedrin must have been an intimidating experience: those elders with long beards and phylacteries imposed a true reverential fear on the humblest of their people. However, the disciples of the Crucified One were no longer the same frightened and doubting men they had known before. Something had changed in them. There was a light, an aura that now gave strength to their words. They were now the ones emanating an authority that could not be contradicted. Their crucified Lord was alive. He who had died had now risen, and they could not silence the great news of which they had been made witnesses. The Holy Spirit had saturated their souls, and had transformed their cowardice into courage, their weakness into strength, their hesitations into certainties, their indecision into boldness (parrhesia). Even two thousand years later when I read or hear this passage, I feel proud to belong, unworthily, to the same group of disciples. That fisherman from Galilee represents the man I would like to become. His Church, which is the Church of Jesus Christ, is also mine, and his mission is also ours. Dear brothers and sisters, we must shake off our fear and proclaim the Gospel and the Resurrection. This is not about being good people and coming to church. Christ said: "I have come to bring fire on the earth, and would that it were already burning!" (Lk 12:49) We must come to love Christ to the point that, like the disciples, we too feel joy when we suffer dishonor for the sake of our Master. To do otherwise is to try to save our own lives, and in doing so, we will lose them forever. Let us not be discouraged if we feel weak though. Let us find consolation in today's Gospel. The same disciple whom we see today standing up for Christ in the first reading is the one who three times fell flat on his face with his betrayals of Jesus. The Lord takes us where we are and lifts us up, if we let him do so, to an ever more perfect love. Pope Benedict XVI showed this with great beauty in commenting on this Sunday's Gospel passage. In Greek there are two verbs that designate the action of loving: phileo, which expresses the love of friendship, tender and devoted; and agapáo, which means to love without reserve, with a complete and unconditional gift to the beloved. The evangelist John, when he refers to the episode of the appearance of the risen Jesus to Peter on the shores of Lake Tiberias, uses both in a very significant and revealing way. We can imagine this episode as the meeting of two dear friends aware of the wound that has opened up in their relationship, but sincerely willing to heal it, willing to receive and give forgiveness so that this wound does not overshadow the future of their friendship. Peter knows that when his friend needed him most, he betrayed him out of cowardice or mere survival instinct, denying him three times after promising him absolute loyalty. Jesus, for his part, knows that this betrayal was a consequence of his friend's weakness, a consequence of human nature itself; and he also knows that his friend is ashamed and saddened by his lack of courage. Then Jesus, ready to forget Peter's weakness, asks him point-blank: "Do you love me?" The Evangelist writes agapâs-me; that is: "Do you love me with a complete and unconditional love?“ It is as if Jesus demands from Peter a love superior to the love he has professed before, a love that excludes weaknesses and proclaims an enthusiastic, staunch, perhaps even superhuman, adherence. Nothing would have been easier for Peter than to respond agapô-se "I love you unconditionally." thus satisfying the demand for absolute love that Jesus makes of him; but, aware of his limitations, aware that he has betrayed him before and that in the future he might do so again - although, of course, nothing could be further from his purpose - Peter responds with a modest and terse humility: Kyrie, filô-se; that is: "Lord, I love you in the human way, with my limitations." We can imagine that Peter's response for a second would disappoint Jesus: he has offered his friend his sincere forgiveness, and even something more than his forgiveness, in exchange for never failing him again; but his friend does not want to disappoint Jesus with inflated hopes or empty promises, he does not want Jesus to attribute superhuman virtues to him. Then the Lord insists and again uses the verb agapao: "Do you love me unconditionally? Do you love me more than these?", referring to the disciples standing at Peter's side by the lake. This second question of Jesus must have incorporated an authoritative, even exasperated nuance, something like: "Hey, I'm asking you if you love me to death, don't give me half-measures." Peter undoubtedly picked up this pressing tone of Jesus, and something must have trembled within him, perhaps the fear of disappointing his friend; and it does not seem improbable that his response had a tone of hesitation, faint, hurt, fearful of receiving a reprimand. But he still used again the verb phileo, meaning to say: "Lord, I would love to love you as you are asking of me, but my love is poor and defective. I love you with all my frailties on my shoulders." Then Jesus returns to question him for the third time, just as three times his friend had denied him on that bitter night. But, to Peter's surprise, Jesus now uses the same verb to which Peter had clung before: Fileis-me? It is a very touching moment, because Jesus realizes that he cannot demand from his friend something that is not in his fragile human nature. Putting aside that superhuman demand, he adapts himself, he molds himself to Peter's weakness, to the fragile human condition, because he understands that in Peter's blundering love that stumbles and falls, and yet gets up again ready to begin anew without hesitation, there can be an impetus, a joy superior even to that of a love that believes itself inured against all stumbles. In other words, the Lord lowers himself so that he can embrace Peter and raise him up, one day, to a greater love, like the one we see in the first reading. Then Peter, gratified by the forgiveness of his friend who accepts him as he is, who embraces him even when he stumbles and falls, affirms with relief, with decision, with joy: "You know that I love you" (philo-se). And they were friends forever. Peter bore witness to Christ bravely as we've seen in the first reading and, at the end of his time on earth, like his friend and Master, laid down his life for him just as Jesus had given his for Peter before. May we too place ourselves in the hands of Jesus. May we let him lift us up. May we seek daily in quiet conversation with him in order to be later, in our families and in our communities, courageous and devoted witnesses of his Resurrection in today's world.

In this week's episode of "Life, Love, & Light," we discuss the epilogue to the gospel of John, in which the Risen Jesus appears to seven disciples as they return from a frustrating night of fishing on Lake Tiberias. This resurrection appearance includes another miraculous catch of fish, a breakfast with Jesus on the beach, and a poignant conversation between the Lord and Peter, in which the disciple who denied Jesus three times is given the opportunity to affirm his love three times.Then we examine repeated attempts at "alternative interpretations" of all Christ's appearances that have challenged faith in his bodily resurrection. Most Christians probably do believe that Jesus really died, that his tomb was empty, and that he came back to life. But how many Christians have really considered in what way  he came back to life? Was it a resuscitation, only a spiritual resurrection of his soul, or a vision of a different Jesus altogether? Are the resurrection appearances merely pious legends or pre-scientific myths? Did the disciples truly believe that Jesus had risen in a glorified body? Or did they  simply "feel" the continuing presence of the Lord in their midst? Does the New Testament language of the evangelists and of Paul really mean what it says? Or was the crucial "resurrection" event what happened to the disciples and not what happened to Jesus at all? Or does Jesus only live on in the salvific  preaching of the church? We delve into these and other modern and postmodern interpretations and then consider the earliest creedal formulations in the four gospels, in the letters of St. Paul, and in the Acts of the Apostles to discover the bedrock of our faith: What Christ's Resurrection really means.

The Sea of Galilee is the lowest freshwater lake in the world. It is also called Kinneret or Kinnereth, Lake of Gennesaret, or Lake Tiberias in the Gospels. It is approximately 53km in circumference and has been utilized from Biblical times up to now as a major source of tap water, agriculture, and fishing. In the Gospels, there are many stories that happened in the Sea of Galilee or in its seashore. This is the setting of Luke 8:22 to 25 during the boat ride of Jesus and his disciples. The lake has squalls or storms. This is because it is surrounded by mountains that act as a funnel of the wind. And squalls could come anytime. When we were there in 2018, we had to transfer to another port because of a squall. The squall that came without warning during that boat ride can teach us the following lessons: First, Jesus will always be there for us. Jesus is our ever-present help in times of need. He will always be there to assure us that He will calm the storm when we ask for His help. Second, Jesus should always be our first recourse rather than our last resort. In the story, Jesus was sleeping while there was a storm. The disciples, most of them fishermen, couldn't do anything to steady the boat. The boat during their time is not as well-built as the small fishing boats now with outriggers. When the disciples realized that they cannot do anything anymore, they asked for Jesus' help. This teaches that we need to come to Jesus first and not try our own solutions that will eventually fail. Third, when Jesus asks us "where is your faith?", we have to be ready to answer it. The disciples were questioned by Jesus about their faith. They were not able to answer it because they were afraid to say that they had none during that time. Well, it is okay if you have no faith in Jesus now. But like what happened in the Gospels and the book of Acts, the faith of the disciples eventually grew. We hope that this would be the same with us. May we grow in our faith in Jesus as we go through the "storm" of COVID-19!

In 1909, Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, fueled by Zionist and socialist ideas, founded the first kibbutz on the shores of Lake Tiberias in Palestine.  Few would have imagined that 40 years later more than 70,000 people would have joined their community-based movement of mutual aid and unity. Today, the kibbutz forms a central part of the Jewish settlements and the State of Israel but its nature has changed over the years. With some kibbutzes privatised, converted into holiday centres or start-up incubators, FRANCE 24 looks at what remains of the original ideal.  

The readings for this Sunday could not come at a better time. We need to hear them because we all find ourselves in some way in the middle of a storm. Christ comes to us today, not on water, but through his saving Word. He comes to remind us that He is always with us, that His grace is always stronger than the winds that threaten the small boats of our lives, and He comes to pull us from the water when we are sinking.On my pilgrimage to the Holy Land, the day before I reached Lake Tiberias there had been a great storm and lightning could be seen striking the water. The next day I walked almost all day in the rain, so when we read this account of the storm, I can now better imagine the fear of the apostles on that night.In reality, life is a boat that sails through the sea of time to the shores of eternity. This is how St. Thomas Aquinas, among others, explains the meaning of the lake and the shore in his commentary on the Gospel of Saint John. We have also seen lightening that has filled us with fear. Sometimes the difficulties we have to face make us fear the possibility of shipwreck. We are people of little faith, who doubt, just as Saint Peter did.The Church is said to be in crisis today. Many voices are heard insisting on how difficult things are in today's world. Sometimes one has the impression that a great catastrophe is about to be unleashed upon us. In my opinion, we should spend little or no time on these considerations because all that does is cause us to take our eyes off the Lord. That was the reason Simon began to sink. He looked around at the storm and the waves instead of fixing his eyes on Jesus Christ. When that happens, the ghosts of the night scare us, the rocking of the rough sea frightens us, and the winds of doubt hit us. In today’s first reading, we hear the same answer: the Lord is neither in the wind, nor in the earthquake, nor in the fire. God is in the breeze, in the “tiny whispering sound”, in the peace of spirit, in the calm of the soul, in the tranquility and serenity of the heart that looks only at Jesus.Yes, here we are, in this life, in the midst of storms that we have not chosen. But the night does not last forever and the sun will rise again, and the boat that carries Jesus will one day arrive at the port of eternal salvation, and then the struggles and fears will be left behind. Let us not leave the Lord. Let us not be distracted from the only thing that is truly important. Let us not fear that God will abandon us, rather let us fear that we may abandon God.No, let's not stray from Christ. If we don't know where to find him, let's remember the beginning of this Sunday's Gospel story. Jesus, after dismissing the crowds who had come to listen to him, went up the mountain to pray. In prayer, in solitude, we have Jesus only for us. A soul who prays is a soul who is like Christ, a soul who seeks Christ, a soul who is intimately united with Christ.Dear brothers and sisters, let’s leave today's Mass, in which the Lord comes to us as he went into the boat of his disciples, with the determination to never neglect our prayer with Christ, to prefer nothing to our daily encounter with Him, to trust that God will always give us the grace to overcome evil. Let’s ask that when we feel we are about to sink, we always go to Him, crying out with Saint Peter, "Lord, save me."He will come to our aid, he will extend his hand to us, and he will deliver us from all dangers.

John 21:1-19Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church from the Gospel of John:Later Jesus again was manifested to the disciples at Lake Tiberias. This is how the appearance took place. 2 Assembled were Simon Peter, Thomas “the Twin,” Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, Zebedee’s children, and two other disciples. 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I’m going out to fish.” “We’ll join you,” they replied, and went off to get into their boat. All through the night they caught nothing. 4 Just after daybreak, Jesus was standing on the shore, though none of the disciples knew it was Jesus. 5 He said to them, “Have you caught anything, friends?” “Not a thing,” they answered. 6 “Cast your net off to the starboard side,” Jesus suggested, “and you’ll find something.” So they made a cast and caught so many fish that they couldn’t haul the net in. 7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved cried out to Peter, “It’s the Teacher!” Upon hearing this, Simon Peter threw on his cloak—he was naked—and jumped into the water. 8 Meanwhile the other disciples brought the boat to shore, towing the net full of fish. They were not far from land—no more than a hundred yards. 9 When they landed, they saw that a charcoal fire had been prepared, with fish and some bread already being grilled. 10 “Bring some of the fish you just caught,” Jesus told them. 11 Simon Peter went aboard and hauled ashore the net, which was loaded with huge fish—one hundred fifty-three of them. In spite of the great number, the net was not torn. 12 “Come and eat your meal,” Jesus told them. None of the disciples dared to ask, “Who are you?”—they knew it was the savior. 13 Jesus came over, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 14 This marked the third time that Jesus had appeared to the disciples after being raised from the dead. 15 When they had eaten their meal, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, do you love me more than these?” Peter said, “Yes, Rabbi, you know that I’m your friend.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” 16 A second time Jesus put the question, “Simon, do you love me?” Peter said, “Yes, Rabbi, you know that I’m your friend.” Jesus replied, “Tend my sheep.” 17 A third time Jesus asked him, “Simon, do you love me as a friend would?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked, “Do you love me?” a third time. So he said, “You know everything, Rabbi. You know that I am your friend.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18 The truth of the matter is,when you were young,you put on your own beltand walked where you liked;but when you get old,you will stretch out your handsand someone else will put a belt around youand take you where you don’t want to go.” 19 With these words, Jesus indicated the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then the savior said, “Follow me.”This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God

The Amateur Traveler talks to Douglas Duckett about his travels to Israel and his popular travel guide to Israel. Douglas has fallen in love not just with the "holy land" but with the modern nation of Israel. We address the issue of "is it safe to travel to Israel" at this time when Israel is at war with the Palestinians in Gaza. He takes us on a virtual trip from the beaches and night life of Tel Aviv, through the working city of Haifa with the beautiful Baha'i gardens and the informative museum about the modern jewish immigration. We stop at Lake Kinneret (also known as The Sea of Galilee, also Sea of Genneseret, or Lake Tiberias) at the town of Tiberius. We make a detour to the historic site of Gamla the "Masada of the North" before turning our face toward Jerusalem. On the way to Jerusalem we stop at Megiddo (Armageddon in the bible) and the roman ruins at Beit-Shean. In Jerusalem we talk about the overwhelming religious and historic significance of the city and how some people come down with " Jerusalem syndrome". We suggest a walking tour of the city, a tour of the Mount of Olives, the holocaust memorial and the Israel museum. We also talk about the work the Jerusalem YMCA is doing to promote peace with their peace preschool that teaches Jewish and Palestinian children together.
