In the Gospel for the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time C, Jesus calls Peter with a miraculous catch of fish. “After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.’ Simon said in reply, ‘Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets.’ When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing” (Luke 5: 4-6). Christ calls us to go out into the world witnessing to the goodness and mercy of God. How can we when life’s problems seem overwhelming? When we feel we are in too deep in troubles? When we feel like we are in over our heads? Peter put his trust in Jesus. Jesus commissioned him to reach out to people with God’s love. Jesus told him to not be afraid. How do you witness to God’s love and mercy in the deep of life’s troubles?
