Gospel
Matthew 4:18-22
'I will make you fishers of men'
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.
Reflection
The beauty of this reading is how Christ chose his disciples. They were ordinary people not well learned ,not wealthy and dressed shabily. Yet they were expected to do extraordinary thing that is sharing the gospel. What we can learn from this is we maybe ordinary but we are expected to share the gospel.
Let us pray
Lord Jesus you called us ordinary people to follow you. May we repay your calling by sharing the good news.
Amen
