Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 4,18-22.
As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and
his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen.
He said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men."
At once they left their nets and followed him.
He walked along from there and saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and his
brother John. They were in a boat, with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them,
and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him.

Reflection
In this passage, Jesus calls us to be faithful to his task of sharing the gospel, and making disciples
of all nations. Jesus Christ develops us, and is calling us to develop others. Just like this story is
not about Peter’s faith but about the object of Peter’s faith, our storms and trials are not about us.
What we go through as believers is about the object of your faith. God desires that you see,
know, worship, and glorify him above all else. God will use what you go through, to achieve the
same in others. Not only is their potential for people’s eyes to be opened to who God is as they
watch you walk faithfully with God in the midst of troubles, but God can and will use what you
go through to help others who are walking through similar situations.
