professionalitis

Peter didn't fall into professionalitis!

In the Gospel, we heard Jesus’ invitation to the Apostles to “put out into the deep.” And we see Simon Peter’s reluctance as the result of the previous night’s failure: “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing!” (Lk 5:5). And yet he responds right away: “But at your word I will let down the nets” (Lk 5:5). He still didn’t know Jesus well, but that didn’t stop Simon Peter from trusting Him and mistrusting his own strength, without thinking about what humanly made more sense. The result dispelled all his doubts: “They caught a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking” (Lk 5:6).
