From Fr. Delwyn Haroldson, C.R.
The first time Peter was in front of a
charcoal fire, Jesus was arrested and
peter denied Jesus three times
(Jn 18:17-18; 25-27). Now, the
second time Peter is in front of a
charcoal fire, Jesus asks him, Do you
love me? Three times (Jn. 21:9, 1517). The third time Peter, with tears
in his eyes says “Lord, you know
everything; you know that I love you.” It is true, God
knows everything about us. But before Peter even answered Jesus, he realized something. Jesus believed in his
love. Jesus believed in his love even before he asked the
first question. But there was something different now. It
came to him. Now Jesus needed Peter’s love. Now after
Peter had denied Jesus three times; now after Peter had
experienced Jesus’ suffering and death, he understood:
Jesus needed Peter’s love.
And Jesus needs our love too. Maybe when we sin against
Jesus, Jesus still believes in our love. Jesus knows everything about us, so surely he knows that even when we sin,
we still love him.
Maybe when we sin, before we even have a chance to go
to confession, we should repent like Peter. We should tell
God we are sorry, truly sorry, and we should ask God for
mercy and to be forgiven. Then the first chance we get,
we should go to confession. In confession we will be
certain to receive absolution and penance.
It’s almost like Jesus is giving Peter a form of penance.
Jesus said: “Feed my lambs.” “Tend my sheep.” “Feed
my sheep.” This was Peter’s new mission in life: to love
Jesus by responding to Jesus’ thirst for his love by tending, feeding and caring for his sheep. It was almost like
Jesus was saying, “you may offend me a thousand times,
but keep loving me by loving others.” “Never deprive me
of your love.”
Our Church teaches us that with these words “feed my
sheep” repeated three times, Jesus commissioned Peter as
shepherd of his flock, the Church. The word feed means
to teach and promote the spiritual welfare of the members
of the Church. The word tend means to govern or rule the
members of the Church. And there are two sides to every
coin. By commanding Peter to govern his sheep, Jesus
implies that we, his sheep, must submit to and obey our
universal shepherd.
Then Jesus tells Peter to “follow me.” In this, Jesus is
telling us to follow him. Let us pray. Jesus you told us
how to do it: “If any want to become my followers, let
them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and
follow me” (Lk. 9:23). This is how I too will feed your
sheep. I will feed the sheep of the world by my daily
crucifixion. This way I will share in your sacrifice
(CCC 618).
Your apostle Peter said it himself. He said the way you
suffered for me is my example. This is how I should suffer for others (1 Pet. 2:21). Jesus, give me the grace to set
aside my own needs and live to help others. And even if I
fall and sin against you a thousand times, give me the
ability to keep loving you by loving others. Give me the
grace to do this and become your glory (1 Pet 4:12-13).
Give me the grace to do this so I too will become a
shepherd and martyr who lays down his life for your
sheep.

La primera vez que Pedro estaba en frente de un fuego de
carbón, Jesús fue arrestado y Pedro lo negó a Jesús tres
veces (Jn. 18:17-18; 25-27). Ahora, la segunda vez que
Pedro está en frente de un fuego de carbón, Jesús le pregunta: ¿Me amas? tres veces. (Jn. 21:9, 15-17). La tercera
vez, Pedro, con lágrimas en los ojos dijo: "Señor, tú lo
sabes todo, tu sabes que te quiero." Es verdad, Dios sabe
todo de nosotros. Pero antes de que Pedro pudiera contestar, se dio cuenta de algo. Jesús ya creía en su amor. Jesús
creía en el amor, hasta antes de que él hizo la primera pregunta. Pero esta vez fue diferente. Se le ocurrió. Ahora
Jesús necesitaba el amor de Pedro. Ahora, después de que
Pedro había negado a Jesús tres veces, y ahora después de
que Pedro había experimentado el sufrimiento y muerte de
Jesús, lo entendió: Jesús necesitaba el amor de Pedro.
Y Jesús necesita nuestro amor también. Tal vez cuando
pecamos contra Jesús, Jesús sigue creyendo en nuestro
amor también. Jesús sabe todo de nosotros, entonces ha de
saber que cuando pecamos seguimos amándolo.
Tal vez cuando pecamos, antes que tengamos la oportunidad de ir a la confesión, debemos arrepentirnos como
Pedro. Debemos decirle a Dios que nos arrepentimos, y
deberas lo sentimos, y debemos pedirle a Dios por su misericordia y perdón. Entonces en la primera oportunidad
que tenemos, debemos ir a confesión. La confesión nos da
la seguridad de recibir la absolución y la penitencia.
Es casi como si Jesús está dándole a Pedro una forma de
penitencia. Jesús dijo: "Apacienta mis corderos," "Cuida
mis ovejas," "Apacienta mis ovejas." Esta fue la nueva
misión de Pedro en la vida: Amar a Jesús en cuidando,
alimentando, y apacentando a sus ovejas . Fue casi como
si Jesús dijo, "me puedes ofender mil veces, pero sigue
amándome en amar a los demás." "Nunca me privan
de su amor." Nuestra Iglesia nos enseña que con estas
palabras "apacienta mis ovejas", repetidas tres veces,
Jesús lo comisiono a Pedro como pastor de su rebaño, la
Iglesia. La palabra “alimenta” quiere decir enseña y apoya
el bienestar espiritual de los miembros de la Iglesia. La
palabra “tiende” quiere decir gobierna y manda los miembros de la iglesia. Y cada moneda tiene dos lados. Si a
Pedro lo mandaron a gobernar las ovejas, entonces nosotros, las ovejas tenemos que obedecer a nuestro pastor
universal. Entonces Jesús predice cómo Peter va glorificar a Dios en su muerte: "abrirás los brazos y otro te amarrara la cintura y te llevara a donde no quieras.” Se dice
que en la Historia de la Iglesia, Eusebio escribió que Pedro fue crucificado cabeza abajo. Él lo pidió así porque no
sentía que era bastante digno para morir de la misma manera como lo hizo Jesús. Entonces Jesús le dice a Pedro:
“sígueme." Con esto, Jesús nos dice a nosotros que lo sigamos. Oremos. Jesús tu nos dijiste cómo hacerlo: "Si
alguno quiere seguirme, que se niegue a si mismo, que
cargue con su cruz de cada dia y que me siga” (Lucas
9:23). Así es como yo también voy a dar de comer a tus
ovejas. Voy a dar de comer a las ovejas del mundo por mi
crucifixión diaria. Así que voy a compartir en tu sacrificio
(CCC 618). Tu apóstol Pedro lo dijo él mismo. Dijo que
la manera en que sufriste por mí, es mi ejemplo. Así es
como yo debo sufrir por los demás (1 Ped. 2:21). Jesús,
dame la gracia de dejar al lado mis necesidades y vivir
para ayudar a otros. Y hasta si me caigo y peco contra ti
mil veces, dame capacidad de seguir amándote en amar a
los demás. Dame la gracia para hacer esto y convertirme
en tu gloria (1 Pedro 4:12-13). Dame la gracia para hacer
esto, para que yo también me convierta en un pastor y
mártir que da su vida por tus ovejas.
