Friday in the Octave of Easter

So Simon Peter went over and dragged the net ashore full of one hundred fifty-three large fish. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, "Come, have breakfast." And none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?" because they realized it was the Lord. Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them, and in like manner the fish. (Jn 21:1-14)

I call this passage, “Breakfast by the Sea.” It is interesting that the Beloved Disciple is the one who recognizes that the One on the shore is the Lord (even after the miraculous catch of fish the other disciples are clueless!). The invitation, “Come, have breakfast,” reflects the Feeding of the Five Thousand with the loaves and the fishes from earlier in this gospel and is a reference to the Eucharist.
