But at your command I will lower the nets. Peter is a seasoned fisherman, and Jesus is a Carpenter unfamiliar with catching fish. Peter and his companions have worked hard all night long for nothing, and he knows from experience that there is no fish. But at the command of Jesus, Peter agrees. He does not complain. He does not reason out to disobey. Peter does what Jesus tells him. And to his great surprise, there is a huge catch.
This is a lesson in discipleship. We must not question Jesus’ ways. We may be experts in our respective fields, but Jesus knows what is best. He is the Lord of this world. Then, after listening to Jesus, we must be ready to obey Him. Peter does not rely on his expertise. He follows the instructions of Jesus and witnesses a miracle.
Confronted with God’s goodness, we are humbled. In the face of our unworthiness, God’s kindness becomes very clear. We follow Jesus not so much because we believe we can do much for Him but because we feel how very kind and forgiving God is and how much we need God more than God needs us.
How many times did you stick to your reasoning to avoid doing a command of the Lord?
What miracles did you witness when you surrendered to the ways of the Lord?
God bless you!

P.S. Thank you lord for the success of our kasalang Parokya “Mass Wedding: held today at the San Antonio De Padua Parish. We had 13 newly wed couples that participated in the Sacrament of Matrimony.
Thank you also for those who prayed, supported and helped us in order to make this ceremony possible. And of course, thank you and congratulations to the newly wed couples who have made this event a reality.
Our next mass wedding will be on May 12, 2013. Hope to see you there.
