Today we read Luke's version of Jesus calling His first disciples. As in Mark, Jesus meets these disciples washing their nets. He does not call them immediately. Instead, He uses Peter's boat to preach to the people. Jesus still does that because today, the Church is Peter's boat. When He is finished, He tells Peter to put out the nets for a catch. Peter is reluctant because, after a whole night fishing, he knows there are no fish. When, just to please the Master, he does drop the nets, he is overwhelmed by the number of fish. He realises Jesus is no ordinary Person and acknowledges his sinfulness. This is an anticipation of the time when, after many promises, he will three times deny even knowing who Jesus is. But Jesus has other plans for Peter and his companions. In future, it is people and not just fish they will be gathering to the Lord. Jesus can use us, too, even with all our faults and failings, to do His work of building the Kingdom.
