From our Gospel reading, from St John: ‘Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any fish?” They answered him, “No.” He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, for the quantity of fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” (John 21:4-7a)

Often, when we look back, we can discern the hand of the Lord in circumstances that play themselves out in an unusual way. Then we can truly say, ‘It is the Lord!’ Today, you may like to reflect on an event that was unexpected, and whether you can see the hand of the Lord in it. May God bless you this Eastertide.
