Growing up slowly in the the love of the Lord
thursday of the 22nd week in ordinary time, year I
Gospel: Lk. 5: 1 - 11
The Christian community slowly grows in the knowledge of Christ and reaches the kingdom of Heaven.
The growth of a community always has a beginning and a period of growth. Like a child with whom the parent is so patient in forming, the Christian is conscious of his growth in the Lord. He is also conscious on how his community is growing in faith.
"Grace builds on nature." The miracle happens when, despite our human nature, we respond to grow in our knowledge and love of the Lord.
Learn from Peter himself. Though he is submerged in his own world, he still has the docility to accept Jesus' offer to be "a fisher of men." By following the Lord, we shall also reach the fullness of our being.
