Jesus did not come into the world just to experience what it was like to be human. He came to change the world, to demonstrate and teach us how to fulfill God’s will for us.
Do you actively attempt to follow Jesus? In what ways? How do you receive support in your journey?
Just as Simon was reluctant to throw the nets out at Jesus’ request, so too we can get weary on our journey and need others to support us. Where is there a better place than at the foot of the cross and surrounded by others from the parish?
When you feel weary or downtrodden, come to the sacraments. They were given to us to assist us in our journey to God. Reach out to others in the community; let them hold you up during rough waters. Together we are One Family Sharing the Love and Light of Christ.
