Rite of Christian

Initiation of Adults:

Our catechumens will attend St. Peters this week and be sent forth after the homily to reflect and pray with the Gospel of the day. We thank the parishioners who lead them in this reflection.

Let us continue to remember

Nadya, David and Tao

in our prayers.

If you would like you or your loved ones name on our Sick List from please ring your

Church Office ASAP!

Reflection: The Gospel today brings to a close a trilogy of episodes focusing on Jesus’ mission to announce the good news of God’s love to the poor, the sinners, and the outcasts. What Jesus announced in Nazareth he now lives out by the Sea of Galilee in the choice of his first followers. Luke borrowed this ‘call story’ from Mark’s Gospel but made significant additions in Jesus’ dialogue with Simon, the miraculous catch of fish, and Simon Peter’s response. Luke’s additions emphasise Peter’s doubt, ‘We’ve fished all night,’ and his unworthiness, ‘I am a sinful man.’ But this is just the type of person Jesus announced that he has come to welcome. Mary Coloe

A note from Fr. Jacob: I will be away on annual leave from 25th February to

4th April. I will be going to India to visit my family.

Monthly Remembrance

THIS WEEK’S GOSPEL – Luke 5: 1-11

First Anniversary occurring at this time:

Jesus was standing one day by the lake of Gennesaret, with the crowd pressing round him listening to the word of God, when he caught sight of two boats close to the bank. The fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats – it was Simon’s – and asked him to put out a little from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.

When he had finished speaking he said to Simon, ‘Put out into deep water and pay out your nets for a catch.’ ‘Master,’ Simon replied ‘we worked hard all night long and caught nothing, but if you say so, I will pay out the nets.’ And when they had done this they netted such a huge number of fish that their nets began to tear, so they signalled to their companions in the other boat to come and help them; when these came, they filled the two boats to sinking point.

When Simon Peter saw this he fell at the knees of Jesus saying, ‘Leave me Lord; I am a sinful man.’ For he and all his companions were completely overcome by the catch they had made; so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners. But Jesus said to Simon, ‘Do not be afraid; from now on it is men you will catch.’ Then, bringing their boats back to land, they left everything and followed him.
