In the summer a lot of us like to spend time fishing, especially with our children. When we are out there we need patience; we cast then wait for the fish to bite. If we use a plain hook, the fish aren’t interested, so we choose another one that’s more attractive. Those who fish as a hobby have a lot of ideas about what works best to attract the fish, what they use for bait often depends upon what type of fish they are trying to catch. Sometimes it is the color of the lure on the line that attracts a fish. Sometimes it is the actual food such as a worm, at times we need to use a “fly”. Avid fishermen are generally eager to share their strategies with others. In this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee; he saw Simon and his brother, Andrew fishing. He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men” (Matthew 4:19) They then left their fishing nets and followed him. A little farther he saw James and his brother, John. They were in their boat mending nets Jesus asked them to follow him also, and immediately they did.

These men saw God’s great love in Jesus and were willing to follow him. It is the same today; love causes people to follow Jesus. Jesus told his disciples that he would teach them how to “fish for people.” He showed all of us that the way to do that is to have God’s love in our lives and share it with others.

These two men answered Jesus’ call to follow him, each one of us is called to accept God’s love and spread the Good News with others. Think about a time recently where you shared God’s love.
