Sunday Gospel - "Feed My Sheep" - Jesus asked Peter to restore and lead His church. Jesus asked His disciples to throw their nets back in the water when they were tired and did not catch many fish. In the same he is asking us today, to let go of the control that we seek and put out trust in Him. To be vulnerable and rely on Him.
Évangile du dimanche - « Pais mes brebis » - Jésus a demandé à Pierre de restaurer et de diriger son Église. Jésus a demandé à ses disciples de remettre leurs filets à l'eau lorsqu'ils étaient fatigués et qu'ils n'avaient pas attrapé beaucoup de poissons. De la même manière, il nous demande aujourd'hui de laisser tomber le contrôle que nous recherchons et de mettre notre confiance en lui. D'être vulnérables et de nous en remettre à lui.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for the Church: As we commend Pope Francis to Your mercy, we pray for the Church he loved and served. May the Holy Spirit guide those who will choose the next pope. May the Church continue to shine with the light of Christ, inspired by Pope Francis’s life of service, humility, and love.

Sunday Gospel - The gospel this week tells us of the story of Jesus appearing to his followers after the resurrection. He does this to show us how important it is that we believe Jesus is the Messiah, sent from God. That Jesus is and was to bring peace and God's spirit to us all. That the reason Jesus did what He did was to help bring people closer to God and believe in him.
Évangile du dimanche - L'évangile de cette semaine nous raconte l'histoire de Jésus apparaissant à ses disciples après la résurrection. Il le fait pour nous montrer combien il est important que nous croyions que Jésus est le Messie, envoyé de Dieu. Que Jésus est et devait apporter la paix et l'esprit de Dieu à chacun d'entre nous. La raison pour laquelle Jésus a fait ce qu'il a fait était d'aider les gens à se rapprocher de Dieu et à croire en lui.

Strength in Suffering: We reflect on the physical, emotional, and spiritual burdens Pope Francis carried with patience and trust in You. In times of illness, misunderstanding, and the weight of leadership, he remained faithful. May he now be free from all suffering and rest in the embrace of Your peace.
Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory Be…
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, And let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, Through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
