This week we read about Jesus preaching by the Sea of Galilee. After Jesus had finished speaking with the crowd he sailed out into the deeper water with Peter, James and John. Jesus then told them to cast their nets out into the sea. The fishermen had fished all night without success and were tired, however, they did as Jesus asked. In no time their nets were full to bursting and the men were full of wonder and awe. Jesus then asked Peter, James and John to leave their boats to become his disciples. How do you think they would be feeling about this? Jesus asked them to leave everything behind to follow him…… sharing the Good News of God’s love with those that they met. Our call to follow Jesus comes at our baptism and continues throughout our lives. How can we respond to this call? Speak with your children about ways that we can do this in our everyday life - caring for a friend, acting fairly, showing forgiveness, acts of service - these acts of the heart are our response to God’s call.
