What did the disciples do the week after Easter?
They stuck together and then they went fishing.
That is what the gospel of John tells us.
It makes sense. They had to eat and fishing was what they knew.
They dragged an enormous catch onto the boat, then climbed out and had breakfast.
With Jesus. The risen Jesus.
It was the first Friday Fish Fry (well, truthfully, no one knows what day of the week it was, but this makes a nice alliteration). And it was with Jesus.
After it all, they were ready to begin the wondrous task of telling others about Jesus.
It is so like our weekly meal, our Eucharist, our communion.
Feeding us for the work ahead.
Come. Eat. Go. Tell.
Amen.
