"Do You Love Me?"

This is part of the Gospel reading from today where Jesus repeatedly asks Peter if he loves Him.  "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."( John 21:16)

Today as we enter the final days of the Easter Season it is a beautiful thought to imagine so many children gathering together in prayer with Our Lord.  Throughout this week we have heard through the Gospel readings of the inner prayers of Jesus to His Father.  Over and over he speaks of becoming one and unifying together.  Seeing so many names of Children's Rosary groups listed there is a beautiful sense of a gathering of the sheep.  A bringing together in unity from around the world.  These little ones are no different if they are kneeling in Kenya or if they are kneeling in Louisiana.  They are all tiny and need to be tended to by those older then themselves.  May I humbly thank you all for your efforts to gently tend to the spiritual needs of our children and through prayer extend your hands outward to bring others together.  As we pray in anticipation of Pentecost for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, it is so heart warming to feel that we are not alone in these prayers.  There are a great many praying together, in a prayer so dear to Our Lord: the Holy Rosary.
