Thursday, within the 22nd week in ordinary time, 1Cor 3:18-23; Ps24; Luke 1:1-11.
Obedience rooted in Christ opens floods of blessings. Moments of disappointment and setbacks can become great seasons of God's providence. Peter and his friend's failure can become a paradigm for our christian environment of life. Our trust in the Lord can transform our failure into God's miracle. Such a trust should not be passive but active. A night of fruitless efforts can be transformed into an early morning of abundance if we put into practice God's introductions. Like Peter's net, our net can be filled with many fish not just because of our expertise but because of our active faith in Christ.
Dear friends, the cash of fish can become the beginning of a greater calling: becoming a "fisher of men" for God's kingdom, that is a soul's winner.
Jesus, I trust in you
