Message from Fr. John Chrysostom Tibakunirwa, Parish Administrator
|
|
We are presented in the First Reading Jonah’s second call. The first one frightened him so much he ran away, got a ship from which he got thrown overboard and was swallowed by a whale. Undigested, he repented and was coughed up on the shore. God has many ways to get our attention. So back to his second calling. Of course this time he listened carefully and went off to continue the call by God to the people of Nineveh. The city and its inhabitants listened to Jonah's part in God's summons to repentence. When the people repented then God did too and did not carry out what Jonah had prophesied.

The Gospel is Mark's account of Jesus calling four disciples from their lives of fishing to lives of finding. They are Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John. Jesus does not tell them where they will find fish next or for how long this expedition will take. They are all called into the mystery of a relationship. The deeper that relationship, the more trust is needed to walk into its future
