Boyle Pastor’s Letter February 9/10 Don’t tell me how to fish! Dear Parish Family Besides their role in reporting to us all that Jesus said and did, the gospels give us a glimpse of how Jesus worked his way into the lives of the disciples. The gospel passage today depicts Jesus preaching and being so popular that the crowd literally pushes him toward and almost into the Sea of Galilee. Just as he is about to get his feet wet, Jesus sees the two boats that belong to Simon Peter and his brother Andrew. Turning from the crowd, he asks the brothers to take him fishing. Jesus is clearly not a fisherman. First of all he is the son of a carpenter. If he had learned anything about a trade, he would have learned from Joseph how to work with his hands and build from wood. Second, he knows nothing about fishing. When Jesus suggests to Peter that they go fishing, Peter reminds Jesus that fishing time is over. It is day. Fishing happens at night and into dawn on the Sea of Galilee. Anyone who could see would know that. During the day the boats are on shore and the fishermen mend nets and sort their catch. Besides that, the fishing night has been a bad one, very bad; they had worked hard and caught nothing. Peter is civil but clear — “Master we have worked hard, all night, and caught — NOTHING!” Peter could not have been clearer if he had said to Jesus, “Please don’t tell me how to fish.” But there is also a surprising bit of openness — “If you say so, I will lower the nets.” The miracle of abundance that follows is not unlike the miracle of loaves and fishes. Everyone knows you can’t feed a crowd of five A modern day fisherman on the Sea thousand with two fish and a couple of loaves. “Just start to feed of Galilee. them,” Jesus orders. They do and it is more than enough. Everyone knows you don’t catch fish in the heat of the day, especially when you are tired. “Just lower the nets,” Jesus tells them. The resulting catch is a net tearing miracle. In these miracles of abundance, Jesus has worked his way into the ordinary parts of life: not enough food, lots of work, no fish. Peter is moved and frightened by this touch of God. Overwhelmed by the miracle, he asks Jesus to leave him. He is undeserving. He is a sinful man. But Jesus, the non-fisherman, has caught the fisherman. He has no intention of going away. “Do not fear. You, Peter, are a fisherman, but now you will be a fisher of women and men.” The story is about how God works God’s own way into our lives. It is a story about how we fear something or someone other than ourselves being in control. “Do not fear!” That is said to almost everyone called by God. “Do not fear” are the angel Gabriel’s words to Mary.” “Do not fear” is said to the prophet in today’s first reading. “Do not fear, Peter.” When we say yes to the gospel, we are allowing God to use our best gifts in a new and miraculous way. That is what the message is all about! Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. Michael A.
