Gospel Mt 4:18-22

Jesus calls us in many ways. Firstly to follow Him, directly and immediately. Notice the apostles did not languish or deliberate; they came when He called them. I wish I always made that call when faced with options during my day. To always take His way, to always follow His will.

Then He calls us in other ways too. It’s not enough for us to follow Him in silence, we have to bring others along the way. We too are called to be “fishers of men”. Sowing the seeds of The Word and His enduring love to others. Let me not have a silent day today. Let me proclaim His Word with some act or deed that says “I am a disciple.”
