It's simply this: where human effort alone often brings failure and emptiness, obedience to Godrsquo;s word brings success and abundance. The miracle story is also a vocation story. In other words, fishermen by occupation are led to see that therersquo;s more to life than catching fish ndash; even loads of fish! The story begins with Jesus asking his friends Peter and Andrew to launch into the deep, and to pay out their nets for a catch. Itrsquo;s morning when he asks this, and Peter and Andrew canrsquo;t help thinking: what on earth does this farmer boy know about deep sea fishing? You trawl your nets at night, in the dark, not in broad daylight. Wersquo;ve done it all last night, and to no use. Anyway, this Jesus is a good chap, so wersquo;ll humour him a bithellip; And so abundant is the catch, that their nets were strained to breaking point, and they had to holler to their friends in a neighbouring boat, to come quickly and help them! Thatrsquo;s when Peter realizes that therersquo;s something deeper going on here. As a fisherman, he knows the ways of the lake, but therersquo;s someone more powerful here who controls the sea and all thatrsquo;s in it. Seized with nervousness and humility, Peter cries out: ldquo;Depart from me, Lord, Irsquo;m a sinful man!rdquo; ndash; Irsquo;m not worthy to be so blessed! ldquo;Do not fear!rdquo; says Jesus. Be at peace. Your life has just begun to change. From now on you will attract men, not just fish. The vocation of Peter is told in a way that symbolizes his success in bringing great numbers of pagans into the Messianic community. Gospel,Reflections shemi09@gmail.com no No
