Reflection
When God reveals his glory, we are struck by God’s holiness and our unworthiness, and inspired to redirect our lives. We become the persecutor turned apostle,and those simple fishermen called by Jesus to be leaders of the Church. In the gospel Jesus is teaching an eager crowd, prototype of the Church; they press close, so he moves from the shore to Simon’s boat to continue his preaching. Then he asks Simon for a small act of faith: to fish once more despite the night’s lack of success. In the unexpected catch—a revelation of God’s power- Simon recognizes Jesus’ majesty; he prostrates himself and confesses his sin. Now he and his companions enter into a new relationship with Jesus. They readily follow, and they will seek more followers. Another word for following the Lord is faithfulness, and this is what St. Paul demands: fidelity to the gospel he preached, especially to the resurrection. In the risen Christ, God’s glory is fully manifested
