Fishers of Men
"Do not be afraid; henceforth you will be catching men".
This incident tells us an important truth about how God works in and through each of us for his glory. God expects of us greater things than we can do by ourselves. When we cooperate in his works, we accomplish far beyond what we can do on our own.
Therese of Lisieux wrote to a friend: "..Jesus has so tremendous a love for us that he wills that we have a share with him in the salvation of souls. He wills to do nothing without us. The Creator of the universe awaits the prayer of a little soul, to save other souls redeemed, like it, at the price of his precious Blood."
Prayer
Almighty God, every good thing comes from you. Fill our hearts with love of you, increase our faith, and by your constant care, protect the good you have given us.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
Bidding Prayer:
Father, fill our hears with love and compassion for those who do not know you or follow you.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Let us pray
Prayer after Communion
Lord, you renew us at your table with the bread of life. May this food strengthen us in love and help us to serve you in each other.
We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
