Dear Friend in the Lord,

God’s Ways – Our Ways: In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminded Peter to focus on his own fidelity of following Him, instead of worrying about John’s future.  Ponder on, “God’s Ways are often not our waysGod’s Love and Mercy is personal and unfailing, while our human ways are often finite, narrow and selfish.”

Fr Philip Heng, S.J.

John 21:20-24

Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them – the one who had leaned on his breast at the supper and had said to him, ‘Lord, who is it that will betray you?’ Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus, ‘What about him, Lord?’ Jesus answered, ‘If I want him to stay behind till I come, what does it matter to you? You are to follow me.’

The rumour then went out among the brothers that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus had not said to Peter, ‘He will not die,’ but, ‘If I want him to stay behind till I come.’ This disciple is the one who vouches for these things and has written them down, and we know that his testimony is true.
