MESSAGE FROM FR RUSLAN Catch of the Day Today’s Gospel recounts the miraculous catch of fish by Jesus and his disciples. As you can imagine, this text from the Holy Bible is one of my favourite readings. Perhaps this is no surprise to you if you know me well, I love fishing. I couldn’t dare imagine how many portions of fish and chips Jesus and his disciples could cook. I am writing this on Thursday and not on Friday as you may have thought. Anyway, it is better for me to come back to the reflection on the Gospel! Behind this story of “catch of the day” is a story of a deep transformation of Jesus’ disciples. They were fishermen and experts in their field that is why they initially refused to pay the net into the water as Jesus requested. No one catches fish in the middle of a hot day. Exactly there is the point that the disciples changed from doubters to believers as they saw the miracle of catching fish. Similarly, today Jesus calls us to follow him. We may be afraid and have some doubts, like the disciples in the reading today, but it is worth following him since only Christ can satisfy our deepest needs and give us everlasting happiness. With prayers Fr. Ruslan and the PPC We serve the local community of Walton-on-Thames, bringing the good news of Christ. Pope Francis has invited us to learn again how to be ‘missionary disciples’, people on a journey, filled with the joy of the Gospel.
We welcome Catholics and non-Catholics alike and all those interested in learning more about our faith. |
