In today’s Gospel, Jesus calls His first disciples – Simon, Andrew, James, and John – who were ordinary fishermen. Yet these ordinary fishermen would serve as the first ministers of Christ’s extraordinary preaching, the first ones to echo the words of the Master: “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Surely, these four were not the last to echo the Master, as Christ speaks through us as well. We, who are baptized into His Church are called to be His mouthpieces, His prophets.
