Gospel ~ Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ February 9, 2025

Luke 5:1-11

While the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening
to the word of God,
he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.
He saw two boats there alongside the lake;
the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets.
Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon,
he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore.
Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,
“Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.”
Simon said in reply,
“Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing,
but at your command I will lower the nets.”
When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish
and their nets were tearing.
They signaled to their partners in the other boat
to come to help them.
They came and filled both boats
so that the boats were in danger of sinking.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said,
“Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”
For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him
and all those with him,
and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee,
who were partners of Simon.
Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid;
from now on you will be catching men.”
When they brought their boats to the shore,
they left everything and followed him.

  • Words from Fabio

    Reflection: On this Fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time, the Word of God speaks to us of God’s call to his servants and the transformation that occurs when we respond with faith and humility. Both Isaiah, Paul and Peter experience an encounter with the Lord that changes them forever. The three readings present men who feel unworthy in the presence of God: Isaiah sees the glory of God and exclaims: “Woe to me, I am lost, because I am a man with impure lips!” (Is 6,5). Paul recognizes his past as a persecutor and says: “I am the least of the apostles, unworthy of being called an apostle” (1 Cor 15,9). Peter, after the miraculous fishing, falls to his knees before Jesus and says to him: “Get away from me, Lord, I am a sinner” (Lk 5,8). These encounters with God reveal a great truth: before the holiness of God, we all discover ourselves weak and sinful. However, God does not call us for our perfection, but for his grace.
