MAY 26, AUGUSTINE OF CANTERBURY: MASS
The First Lesson. The Reader begins
A Reading from the
Second Letter of Paul to the Corinthians
Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.
All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled
us to himself and gave us the ministry of
reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling
the world to himself, not counting their trespasses
against them, and entrusting to us the message of
reconciliation. So we are ambassadors for Christ, God
making his appeal through us.
The Reader concludes The Word of the Lord.

Jesus Christ according to Luke.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.
While the people pressed upon Jesus to hear the word
of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
And he saw two boats by the lake; but the fishermen
had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, he
asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat
down and taught the people from the boat. And when
he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out
into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and
took nothing! But at your word I will let down the
nets.” And when they had done this, they enclosed a
great shoal of fish; and as their nets were breaking,
they beckoned to their partners in the other boat to
come and help them. And they came and filled both
the boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon
Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying,
“Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”
For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at
the catch of fish which they had taken; and so also

were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were
partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do
not be afraid; henceforth you will be catching men.”
And when they had brought their boats to land, they
left everything and followed him.
