WHY JESUS ASK 3 TIMES FROM PETER "DO U LOVE ME"?
HOW U ENJOY YOUR LIFE?
Thru' 5 senses.
WHY RISEN JESUS HAVE 5 WOUNDS?
HUMAN FIGHT FOR WHAT? WHAT ARE EARTH BOUND CRAVINGS RESEMBLING GRAVITATIONAL PULL?
FOR A HEALTHY FAMILY LIFE, WHAT YOU NEED?
FOR A HEALTHY PRIESTLY LIFE, WHAT DO YOU NEED?
WHAT IS SPECIAL, A PRIEST IS ASSURED FROM GOD?
Answer to above questions has be reflected based on today's reading:
Before Risen Jesus, peter, has been told that he will deny Jesus 3 times before cock crows! After Risen Jesus, Peter has been questioned' whether He loves HIM 3 times. Why always 3 times: this indicate the earth bound cravings that we develop MONEY,POWER and DESIRES!. Before risen christ peter was trap into the earth bound cravings, but, having understood, what is spirituality(ability to get it pardoned your sins), he swears 3 times to indicate, He will ignore the earth bound cravings, for the love of God. Here Peter represent all priests not laymen!.
Value of Catholic Priest
2main vocations in catholism
(1)laymen
(2)clergy.
All these humans develop need of money,power& desires. Similar to gravitational pull towards earth(you start breathing,learning,walking/wit hout your knowledge),but mostly Spirituality going against. Laymen have free hand to develop these 3 earth cravings,subject to 7 Ethics+church rules),BUT NOT CLERGY .That is why Jesus ask Peter"do you love me 3 times"not 4or 2 times.
Catholic Priest has to develop full time,how to afford 7sacraments(specially confessions)to laymen,while they control money+power,keeping celebacy in their life.
In addition to maintain their health(very poor),they have to develop physical needs(building/orgernising)of laymen to know kingdom of God,which is challenging now. In providing all 7sacrament,he has to physically present.(even confession)irrespective of technology. You cannot have confession over the phone or skyppe why? Because, you can record all confession,by a 3rd party.( Actual confession is recorded by almighty and erase the same by HIM) Are U Outcast Priest weaknesses against spiritual benefit you will have?

WITHOUT CONFESSION, CAN YOU ACHIEVE CHRISTIANITY revealed by RISEN CHRIST?
)First Reading - ACTS 5:27-32, 40-41Apostles said: “We must obey God rather than humans… God raised Jesus from the dead... God exalted him as the Savior to grant Israel repentance & forgiveness. We are witnesses of this & so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
2nd Reading - REV 5:11-14
Apocalypse said "John heard the voices of angels… They encircled the living creatures and the elders... In a loud voice they said “… To him who sits on the throne & to the Lamb be praise & honour and glory & power, for ever & ever!” The living creatures said “Amen” & the elders prostrated & worshiped.
Gospel – John 21:1-19
Disciples were fishing & Jesus stood on shore… They didn’t recognise him.
Jesus asked “U caught any fish?” “No,” they answered. HE said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat” which they did & caught large number of fish… Disciples now recognised HIM & they were about a 100 yards from shore… When landed, they saw a fire of burning coals with fish & bread on it… Jesus invited them for Breakfast… This was the 3rd time Jesus appeared to them after raising from dead. Jesus asked Peter 3 times “do you love me more than these?” to which he replied “Yes, Lord, you know that I do.” Jesus said “Feed my sheep. When you were younger you dressed yourself & went where you wanted; but when you are old someone else will dress you & lead you where you do NOT want to go.” Jesus indicated the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”
Reminds:
Catholism provides the actual implementation of the Bible.
(1) Well organised church, lead by pope
(2) Well organised process to train priest
(3) 7 sacraments are well defined to match to Bible, to establish kingdom of God.
(4) Well defined, guidance and rules to follow, to decipline and enjoy your life
(5) By holy orders +Priest celebacy, and
Matrimony+maintain children, catholic church will run, towards end of world
(6) Well defined process to declare saints, make church very dynamic and normadic. You are reminded God process to come to HIM thru' Mary and saints, not to undermine HIS power but to make the church more dynamic. This is the only practical way. That is why God encourage this process ex Cana
(7)Well defined process for confession(primary action of Christianity) and well define process for Holy Eucharist. Up to now the confidentiality of confession has not been breached by any priest!
