Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Calling – Fishers of men” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus called Andrew, Peter, James and John to be “fishers of men”. They are to be part of His Mission of proclaiming the Good News of Salvation to all peoples. Ponder on, “All Christians, are ‘called’ to witness and draw people closer to God. Let us then, be enlightened and empowered by the Holy Spirit.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 21:29-33
As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon, who was called Peter, and his brother Andrew; they were making a cast in the lake with their net, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, ‘Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.’ And they left their nets at once and followed him.
Going on from there he saw another pair of brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John; they were in their boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. At once, leaving the boat and their father, they followed him.
