Where love of Christ must lead us

From today's reading at Mass:

"Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that [Jesus] had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." (Jesus) said to him, "Feed my sheep. Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."

Although the love of Christ necessarily leads in this direction, this place where we do not want to go is not the destination; it is merely a gateway.

Pie Iesu Domine, dona eis requiem, sempiternam requiem.

Tender Lord Jesus, grant them rest, eternal rest.
