Jesus said to them, ‘Come and have breakfast.’ Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, ‘Who are you?’ because they knew it was the Lord

In John 21:1-14, Jesus’ disciples are still wondering what to do with themselves. After a disappointing night in their fishing boat, Jesus appears on the beach and powerfully reassures them of his initiative, his generosity, his kindness and his love.  Find your favourite spot for prayer, grab your journal, and sit deeply with yourself and the Lord for 20 minutes.
