St Norbert; St Marcellin Champagnat
Acts 25:13-21. The Lord has set his throne in heaven – Ps 102(103):1-2, 11-12, 19-20. John 21:15-19.
Do you love me?
I waited for this question:
I knew I had betrayed him.
That’s why I left it up to him
to accept that I was honest.
Who was I to judge the others?
I relaxed. But then he asked again.
This time my heart was torn in two.
What could I do except affirm
my love and let him be the judge.
Once more he asked. I wept. He knew
me better than I know and trust
myself. I told him so. He smiled,
and I knew our hearts were joined.
