First Reading (Hebrew 1:1-6) Responsorial Psalm (Ps 97:1 and 2b, 6 and 7c, 9) Gospel (Mk 1:14-20) Jesus has chosen Simon, Andrew, James and John to be his followers, to be fishers of men. The message of salvation that Jesus brought in this world as the incarnate word must be announced to all corners of the world. Jesus wants that his disciples to have a full grasp of this message by giving them a chance to see and experience this salvation as they lived with him. These people will constitutes some of the so called twelve apostles. Those who accompany Jesus in his everyday life during his ministerial days until his resurrection. Not all of us can be come clerics or nuns. however, we must understand that surely God has called us to follow Jesus in whatever vocation that we are living. What matter most is the willingness to follow Jesus even if it entail living someone or something behind for the greater of God. ShareThis Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post

After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the Gospel of God: “This is the time of fulfillment. The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.” As he passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Then they left their nets and followed him. He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets. Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him. ShareThis Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post
