Fifth Week of Ordinary Time


February 9, 2025


Gospel: Luke 5:1-11 

In this Gospel story Peter begins by allowing Jesus to take command of his boat.
He moves to allowing Jesus to take command of his heart, openly confessing the truth about himself (“I am a sinful man”).
Finally, he allows Jesus to take command of his whole life (“left everything and followed him”).
Like Peter, we are to allow Jesus to take command of us—our possessions, our hearts, our lives.
