Fr Ed points out that, like the disciples in today’s gospel, Jesus calls each of us to himself. We, too, are to go forth as his messengers. It doesn’t matter that we don’t feel up to the task – as Peter and the others surely felt. Jesus only asks us to come to himself. God will provide the rest.
As you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him, rooted in him and built upon him.
COL 2:6-15
[After Jesus] spent the night in prayer to God … he called his disciples to himself.
LK 6:12-19
