The baby canaries have hatched - 6 in all. But 3 have been left unfed by the parents. I've started handfeeding them. Not an easy job for such tiny babies. The runt has refused to eat today. It'll probably die. There's only so much that you can do. It reminds me of some people who, no matter how much you try to help them, they refuse to help themselves.
Today's Gospel reading has to do with Jesus forgiving Peter on the shores of the Sea of Galilee during breakfast. Fr Loffreda presided at Mass and preached a nice sermon - he being an archaeologist of that area of the Sea of Galilee. One nice observation was - Peter was a fisherman and he caught nothing that night. Then Christ came along and told him to "Feed my sheep" - changing Peter's career from a fisherman to a shepherd! Not easy for someone his age and experience. But fishermen can be shepherds if Christ calls and Christ supports. Ready for a change in your life?
