Continuing our Easter Mini-Series: In this podcast, Fr. Peter Armenio turns our attention to the Apostles’ encounter with the Risen Lord along the shore of Galilee in which Peter jumps out of the boat and swims to shore out of his urgent desire to be with Christ. Peter’s actions surrounding the events of the Paschal Mystery show us that we all have the capacity to fall from the grace of God. However, Fr. Peter reminds us that the devil is always conquered if we freely turn to Christ through the sacraments and our life of prayer.
Reflecting on the interaction of Peter with Christ on the shore, we see that repentance and contrition is the foundation of holiness. Jesus is inviting Peter back into a loving relationship with him, just as he continues to invite us into a deeper relationship each day. As we seek the Lord through the sacrament of confession, we freely express our love for him and encounter a more profound experience of his mercy.
