Come after Me and I will make you fishers of men.
In today's Gospel, Jesus extends an invitation to Peter, Andrew, James, and John. They are all fishermen, simple, hardworking fellows who catch their livelihood from the Sea of Galilee. But now their lives will change drastically if they accept Jesus' summons. These four men, however, drop everything and follow Jesus.
Jesus calls us, too. He invites us to come after Him, to walk in His ways, to follow His will, to perform His tasks, to serve His people with love. We are called to be fishers of men, to catch them and draw them to Christ by our words and actions.
How is Jesus calling you? How are you responding?
