Thursday (September 5): "You will catch people for the kingdom of God"

Gospel: Luke 5:1-11
While the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret. And he saw two boats by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. And when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets." And when they had done this, they enclosed a great shoal of fish; and as their nets were breaking, they beckoned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken; and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; henceforth you will be catching men." And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.

Repleksiyon:

Ma-imajin nakô an mga mamalingay sa Hamuyawon, sa danaw na hasuod sa Habungan.

Usahay duro an ila mabaling na pijanga, usay gamay ra, pero usahay waya ‘sab.

Pero an akô gusto ipaabot sa akô repleksiyon kuman an mahitungod sa hagit ni Lord Jesus datô na makasangyaw kita nan marajaw na balita nan kalingkawasan sa mga kasay’anan.

Pangajuon natô kan Jesus na pun’on Nija an atô mga kasing-kasing nan gugma sanan kalooy sa mga tawo na waya makakilaya Dija.

Hinaot unta na himoon kita Nija na instrumento sanan marajaw na testigos nan Ija kamatuoran sanan kalingkawasan sa kasay’anan nan atô mga pamilya, mga higaya, sanan mga katrabo.
