About This Prayer

The Magnificat antiphon for Easter Wednesday Vespers, recounting the miraculous catch of 153 fish (John 21:10-11). Peter draws the net to land unbroken, prefiguring the Church's mission to gather all nations without schism. The Risen Lord provides for His apostles as He will provide for the Church.
