The Gospel today narrates for us the miraculous catch of fish where we find Jesus boarding the boat of Simon. We should read that as an image of Our Lord boarding our lives. Shall we be as docile as St. Peter in going to the deep waters and in throwing the nets for a catch when it was not the time to fish? With the miraculous catch Simon was moved to ask our Lord to depart from him because he was a sinful man. We also find ourselves incredulous at how God comes close to us, gives us good things, and even asks us to follow him. Listen to Our blessed Lord assure him. “Do not be afraid. From now on you shall catch men.” We shouldn’t be afraid to dare to follow our Lord and doubt or second guess ourselves.
