Friends of the Rosary,

In today’s Gospel (Luke 5:1-11), we see a glorious invasion of grace. Christ Jesus gets into Peter’s boat and commands him to put out from the shore and lower the nets for a catch.

Along with James and John, the sons of Zebedee, and other fishermen, they all astonishedly caught a great number of fish.

Then Simon Peter fell at the knees of Jesus and said,
“Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”

Luke recounts:

Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid;
From now on, you will be catching men.”

“When they brought their boats to the shore,
they left everything and followed him.”

Bishop Barron explains that in many ways, the whole of the spiritual life can be read off of this piece.

“The single most important decision that you will ever make is this: Will you cooperate with Jesus once he decides to get into your boat?”

“When the Lord Jesus Christ gets into your boat, he will always lead you to the spiritual depths of transformation.”

Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
