Jesus calls all of us to be fishers of men. He asks us to repent and believe in the Gospel. If we do these things then we can be His disciples. Being a fisherman takes a great deal of patience and fortitude and as fishers of men we too will need all the patience and fortitude we can get. When we follow in the footsteps of Jesus we are asked to take on this task and do it to the best of our ability. We must also be aware of our surroundings, the signs that tell us when and where the greatest spiritual catch might be. Let us hope we are aware of these opportunities in our lives and make the most of them from this day forth.
In what ways have we been faithful fishers of men? In what ways have we failed at this calling? Are we willing to follow Jesus even if doing so leads to a place we do not want to go?
O Lord, we want to follow you and become a fisher of men. Grant us the grace and the faith to walk where you need us to be.
Amen.
