Pastoral Message
Today’s Gospel It was the miraculous catch of fish at Jesus’ command, described in today’s Gospel, which enabled Peter to find God in
the person of Jesus Christ. This prompted him to surrender his life fully to Jesus as a disciple dedicated to joyful service. The Second Vatican Council teaches that we are all called to Christ’s ministry as priest, prophet and king by virtue of our Baptism. Presenting the special calls, or vocations, of Isaiah, Paul, and Peter as life-changing events, the readings challenge us to examine our own personal call of life and commitment to our
discipleship. This is why God has a different charisms for each of us. Each of us is unique, so each of us has a mission which no one else can fulfill. Let us accomplish this mission as parents, priests, religious, and lay persons by radiating the love, mercy, and
forgiveness of Jesus. Let us also look for opportunities to serve in our parish and larger community. All the baptized are the People of God - who know from where we have come - who we are - and are a pilgrim people on a journey. The call to holiness grounds our steps now; and points to our final end in heaven. ~ In Christ with Our Lady of Lourdes, Fr. Young
