Fr. Isaac reflects on Peter's return to fishing after the Resurrection—a symbolic backslide to his old life. Despite Peter’s sense of failure and inadequacy, Jesus meets him again at dawn, reigniting the call to become a fisher of people. The homily explores the deeper meaning behind Jesus’ question, “Do you love me more than these?”, highlighting Christ’s gentle way of calling us back—not by dwelling on our failures, but by focusing on our love and our willingness to begin again. Through this encounter, we are reminded of God’s unwavering grace and invitation to renewal, even after betrayal or loss of purpose.
