Fr. Ken reflects on the transforming love of the Risen Christ, who restores and calls us—like Peter—not through perfection, but through love and grace. He reminds us that our failures do not disqualify us from discipleship; instead, they become opportunities for God’s mercy to work through us. Fr. Walsh then celebrates the First Communicants, reminding them and all of us that receiving Jesus is both a gift and a call to follow Him with joy, humility, and faith.
