Acts 4:1-12 / John 21:1-14
Typically speaking, there are three meals a day - breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Of the three meals, dinner gives the most relaxing mood.
The day has come to an end, everyone is back home for this meal, it is a time not just to eat, but to relate, to relax and to recreate.
These moods were apparent during the Last Supper.
That was why when Jesus talked about betrayal, everyone was disturbed. It was not the occasion to talk about such things.
Dinner time, or supper time, is supposed to be a relaxing and enjoyable time.
On the other hand, breakfast signals the start of the day.
Even as we take breakfast, we are already thinking about the day ahead, the tasks at hand, the appointments, the schedules, etc.
We are all familiar with the Last Supper. The gospel of today tells us of another important meal Jesus had with His disciples - the Last Breakfast.
And indeed, it was a working breakfast, and the agenda is obvious - the catch of 153 fish to symbolize the nations of the world; the unbroken net to symbolize the universality of the Church; the meal of bread and fish to symbolize the Eucharist.
Like the disciples, we are also reminded of this agenda every time we come to the Eucharist.
The Risen Christ sits among us and gives Himself to us as our spiritual food.
May we in turn be the spiritual food for others.
