Sunday in Ordinary Time

– B -

Reflection

When Jesus enters our lives with the gentle call of

His grace, how will we reply? Will we be busy with other things, afraid He will ask too much of us, or will we trust Him? Will we be open to His call and a new beginning in our lives? In today’s

Gospel Jesus calls the first disciples, simple fishermen from Galilee. They leave everything in order to follow Jesus. May we also come to recognize and embrace Him who calls us!
