You're listening to the I Pray with the Gospel Sunday Reflection on the St. Jose Maria Institute podcast.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore you with profound reverence.

Ask your pardon for my sins and the grace to make this time of prayer are fruitful.

My Immaculate Mother, St. Joseph, my Father and Lord,

my guardian angel, intercede for me.

The Third Sunday of Easter, a reading from the Gospel of John, Chapter 21.

Simon Peter, Thomas called the twin, Nathaniel of Cana and Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.

Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him, we will go with you. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. Just as the day

was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples did not know 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.

St. Jose Maria always had great devotion to those two other of his disciples, the two anonymous disciples of Jesus whose names we do not know.

We don't know where the other disciples were, but they weren't with Peter that day.

Those who went fishing with Peter saw Jesus. Before one of his audiences, St. John Paul II was greeted by some people among the crowd.

He was talking with a group of young ladies when the MC suggested that he keep moving because
