• D.D. WITH JESUS 'FISHERMAN OF MEN • We have heard the Gospel. The crowd presses around Jesus to listen to his Word, up the point that Jesus has to take a boat because from the shore everyone could hear. Him • Everyone feels that it is resounding a different Word ,unlike than all our words. • Something that breaks into your ears and it makes his way into the deep layers of human interiority. • This causes interest, wonder, a kind of charm that touches the heart. • Ah, this has to always result in us like an awakening. • What have we done just now ?.

And then after 20 minutes everything is over and they gone home. These people that makes press around Jesus to listen to a word other and different, strikes me and I feel all my superficiality. Let's hear it together? . Let's hear it together. If then we wonder what Jesus is doing, the answer is simple . Jesus does the fisher of men. He always tries to fish us.

He turns to Simon Peter with the apparently absurd invitation " You put out into deep water , Peter, you and your friends throw the nets for fishing." - Under the sun, Lord? Let's go back fishing under the sun? You will want to catch fishs in the extreme heat. Hey, Lord, you see that you aren't of the craft. You understand little. Instead we ...
But Jesus has to break our schemes, our good reasons full of common sense and often empty of faith. Peter, however, let himself be convinced. Sir, I tell you, we worked hard all night and we taked nothing, But "on your word I will let down the nets." Not in my convictions, not what I think is right. At your word I will let down the nets. I trust you. Then the fishing is successful . What it was thought a human point of view ,impossible,it had become possible. Then here it resonates another Word of Jesus that we hear in the Gospel of John. " You look that without me you can do nothing". Peter at this point has the same reaction of Isaiah: "I am not worthy to be near to you, Lord, I am a sinner." I am a man of unclean lips. You see, the gift of love, the fishing as a gift succeeded,,it triggers the request for forgiveness. You look my friends, that the one who is not grateful, he will never be able to ask for forgiveness with sincerity. If you are unused to say thank you, never you will ask forgiveness, unless you are not obliged by the circumstances. Peter saw something of great, he has saw that the impossible for his schemes, it has become possible. - Lord, I am a poor sinner, ,go away from me - - And Jesus: "Peter, do not be afraid, from now , you will be like me, and with me, fisher of men." You look my friends, that he who is not grateful, he will never ask for forgiveness with sincerity. If you are unused to say thank you, never you ask forgiveness unless you are obliged by the circumstances. Peter has seen something great, he has seen that the impossible for his schemes has become possible. - Lord, I am a poor sinner, Depart from me -
Follow him because with him the impossible can become possible. At least that they understood. Then they will struggle . And Jesus: "Peter, do not be afraid, from now you will be like me, and with me, fisher of men." And Peter with his friends, we it have heard, James and John, they leave everything and they follow Jesus. To follow him, but no matter. The impossible becomes possible through faith in Jesus. "At your word I will cast the nets." My schemes are what they are, my views are what they are, my convictions, my obsessions are what they are, but your Word, Lord, I will do differently. This is the faith. • We all become fishers of men. Then , how do they become fish of the men? Loving them and sacrificing for them.
