5 First Reading, Isaiah 6:1-2a,3-8 Isaiah describes his vision and call from the Lord. Responsorial Psalm, Psalm 138:1-5,7-8 A song of thanks to God who saves us Second Reading, 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 (shorter form, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8,11) Paul reminds the Corinthians of the gospel that he announced to them. Gospel Reading, Luke 5:1-11 The fishermen (Simon, James, and John) leave their fishing boats and follow Jesus. Last Sunday, we heard how Jesus was rejected in his hometown of Nazareth. In the verses that follow, Jesus travels to the town of Capernaum and begins his ministry of teaching and healing. While in Capernaum, Jesus cures a man possessed with a demon and heals Simon's mother-in-law. After spending some time there, Jesus prepares to preach in other places. The fact that Jesus had previously been in Simon's home and healed his mother-in-law suggests that this encounter is not the first between Jesus and Simon Peter. We can read today's Gospel, therefore, as a description of the developing relationship between Jesus and Simon Peter. In today's Gospel, Jesus teaches from Simon's boat. Jesus turns to Simon and instructs him about where to lower the fishing nets. Simon and others have been fishing throughout the night and have not caught anything. Simon protests, claiming that such an effort would be futile. Simon ultimately obeys Jesus and lowers his nets into the deeper water as directed. Notice here that Peter calls Jesus by the title master. He already recognizes Jesus as a person of authority. They catch so many fish that the nets begin to tear; Jesus' presence has created abundance out of scarcity, just as it did at the wedding feast at Cana, which we heard at Mass just a few weeks ago. Simon Peter becomes a follower of Jesus immediately. He calls Jesus Lord the title given to Jesus after his Resurrection and protests his worthiness to be in Jesus' presence. Today's Gospel, therefore, marks a turning point in the relationship between Jesus and Peter. Two of Simon's partners are also named as witnesses to the event described in today's Gospel: Zebedee's sons, James and John. Yet Jesus' words are addressed only to Simon. Jesus gives Simon a new job, telling him that he will become a different kind of fisherman. No longer will he catch fish; instead he will catch people. In these words, we hear the beginning of the leadership role that Peter will have within the community of disciples. Peter was chosen for this role. His task will be to bring others to Jesus. Already he is doing so; the Gospel tells us that all the fishermen with Peter also left their nets and followed Jesus. We continue to speak of Peter's leadership and influence in the Church today when we call the Pope the Successor of Peter. We participate in the mission of the Church when we bring people to Christ through the example and positive influence of our lives.

6 Parish Lenten Mission MARK YOUR CALENDARS We are very pleased to announce our Parish Lenten Mission will be given by Fr. Joe McDonald. March 11, 12, and 13, Two sessions: 9:00am with Mass and 7:00pm with Mass. FRESH ENCOUNTERS WITH JESUS There is a huge difference between the tourist and the pilgrim. You might have noticed this when visiting a famous church or sacred site. The tourist wants to capture it all, to get the best photographs! Whilst the pilgrim may well want some of this also, the pilgrim will often bless themselves or take a quiet moment as they acknowledge the sacred and ultimately the Divine. As well as being pilgrims in this world, during the time of parish mission we are reminded that through our baptism we are called to a unique personal relationship with Jesus. What does this mean? Is it really possible? During the course of our mission, we will, with the help of the Holy Spirit, glimpse Jesus afresh. Monday, March 11: Jesus, and the Five Kings PLEASE NOTE THE CORRECTED DATES Tuesday, March 12: Jesus, Source of Disturbance Wednesday, March 13: Jesus Cooks Breakfast You are invited to attend our Mission, FRESH ENCOUNTERS WITH JESUS, do your bit by being present, and indeed be present with an open heart.
