The Redemptorist order, Fr Greg notes, is a lot like the net in today’s gospel which collects “fish of every kind.” St Alphonus’ enduring gift to the church was to form a patient, loving and generous community from these “fish” – a community dedicated to the overlooked, the abandoned, and the rejected. Thank you Redemptorists!
Moses did exactly as the LORD had commanded him.
EX 40:16-21, 34-38
“The Kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind.”
MT 13:47-53
