Gospel: Mk 1:14–20
and they followed him, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men.
REFLECTION:
The movement is starting. As much as Jesus wants to do it Himself, His self-limitation as fully human made Him look for partners, people who would embrace His vision and work with Him to inaugurate the kingdom of God.
He will be collecting a rag tag team of individuals who at first glance seemed not to be qualified. Is it probably because God does not call the qualified but qualify those whom He calls Fishermen, taxcollector, revolutionary
zealot and the like does not inspire much as a team. But look where we are right now after more than 2,000 years. It was in their weakness that God effected a wonderful miracle.
