Do You Love Me?

This Sunday, we celebrated the Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, two saints who made a huge impact on the church. But that’s not all they share. They both had to make hard decisions to follow Jesus, and they didn’t always make the right ones. Sometimes they acted out of fear, rather than love. But just as Jesus said to Peter, he says to us, “Do you love me? Feed my sheep.” Don’t respond to difficulty or change with fear. That’s how we make poor decisions. Instead, respond in love.
