Do Not Be Afraid!

2-10-13


Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him.

Do not be afraid! As the saying goes the only things certain in life are death and taxes… but I would add change! We live in exciting times! Through careful and thoughtful pastoral planning we too can become fishers of men! When Jesus began His earthly ministry He proposed a lot of changes. Some of these changes were in how to live, how to worship and how to think in new ways. Jesus is asking us to do this again. How can we reach the people, the people of God who have fallen away?

As we go forward in bringing together the faith communities of Sts Martha and Mary and Sacred Heart, let us be the new fishers of men! We are so much more together than apart! I am enthused and filled with the spirit… just think of the possibilities! Jesus did and look where we are today! How will you be a fisher of men? God bless, Holly Clark
