MYSTERY OF THE DAY: Luminous
CELEBRATION OF THE DAY: Ferial
TABLE OF THE WORD: Colossians 1:9-14; Luke 5:1-11

THE WORD:
"Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets." ” (Luke 5:4-11)
In the course of Christ’s public ministry, every event brings about a revelation of the Divine will about man's salvation.
In today gospel pericope, we have seen the manifestation of God's possibility amidst every impossibility. Here Evangelist Luke recounted the incident which let to this, as the disciples were already hopeless having spent the entire night without a catch.
"Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets." ” (Luke 5:4-11)
Probably they were about paddling home as the day could not bear fruit, but with intervention of Christ their story changed leaving them in the state of great bewilderment.
INSPIRATION
Beloved in Christ, in our day-to-day struggle do we involve God or we are relying on our effort only? Every encounter with the Lord spells blossom and fruitfulness. As we have seen in today gospel where the disciples happen to encounter Jesus, their net had a wonderful catch; an event which teaches us the supremacy of God over every creatures in creation.
Therfore, there is no situation that God cannot handle in our lives, it may take years, months, but lose no hope for God is over the problem. Put your trust solely in Him, fear not for He will certainly give you a huge catch provided you are ready to launch in your net in faith.
Peace be with you!
PRAYER
Almighty and eternal God we thank You for the many blesaings You have given us, grant we pray the grace to launch in our net with faith so that our needs will be provided.Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
+ May the Lord in His infinite mercy bless and keep us, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
