Humbly submit your will to God (thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.

“While the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God,
he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.
He saw two boats there alongside the lake;
the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,
“Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.”
Simon said in reply,
“Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets.”
When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish
and their nets were tearing.
They signaled to their partners in the other boat
to come to help them.
They came and filled both boats
so that the boats were in danger of sinking.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”
For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him,
and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee,
who were partners of Simon.
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.”  Lk 5:1-11

Today, Jesus calls his disciples to follow Him.  This will require change in their lives.  Peter was married.  They had a full time job as fisherman and the others had other trades. Today, in this Scripture passage, Jesus is calling you to follow Him.  If you have any thoughts of becoming a priest or religious brother or sister, start praying daily asking God if this is your vocation.  Ask Him if you are to be married and start praying for your future spouse.  We are all called to be followers of Jesus, disciples.  You have a choice to make; God’s grace is waiting to be given to you everyday.  He is chasing after you to bring you back to Him.

Today, Jesus may be asking you to give some things up to follow Him, but they are nothing compared to the joy and peace you will receive by giving your heart to Jesus.  There will be sorrow and sacrifice, too.  Just ask Mary, His mother. Love requires sacrifice and unselfishness.  It requires swallowing one’s pride.  Jesus does not care where you are at in your spiritual life, today He is calling you to follow Him. “Be not afraid!”

Today’s challenge: Don’t worry about how much of a sinner you are, allow Jesus into your heart.  He will slowly transform you.  ”Be not afraid!”

Be a servant, become a saint!
