Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore.

Full of large fish, one hundred and fifty three.
The number of fish at that time according to ancient lore.
In all the lakes, rivers and in the sea.

The net is the church community.
We are the fish in the net .
In its world wide entirety.
Caught happily in a spiritual drag net.

Jesus said a third time.
Simon, you love me.
To match the denial at the passion for the third time.

Any many times do we deny.
Rejecting the truth , accepting any lie.

……

He hauled in the net
153 fish in total
That is all of us

……

See John 21 -19
