They Followed Jesus
Responding to Jesus, Simon said, “We have worked hard all night…, but at your command, I will lower the nets.”
Still, later in the passage, Jesus said, “from now on, you will be catching men.” Simon now did even more. At Jesus’ words, he and his friends, “left everything and followed him.”
Incredible faith! Simon put his faith in the words of Jesus, which is the strong kind of faith.
One can argue that Simon had witnessed Jesus’ power. Nevertheless, he did not know what the future would hold. Still, he followed Jesus.
How about me?
PS. Today, World Day for Consecrated Life is observed in parishes. Please pray for priests, brothers, sisters, lay consecrated people, and those God continues to call to follow Jesus in this way of life.
