Third
Sunday in Ordinary Time

“Follow
me and I will make you into fishers of people.”
Those
words of Jesus, which are given to us for this
week, are usually thought of as being addressed
to people with a vocation to the priesthood
or religious life. They are about vocation certainly
but are addressed to each of us. The four great
vocations in the Church are single life, married
life, religious life and priesthood. All of
us who are baptised are living one of those
and each of us is vital to the health of the
whole body, the Church. We live our vocations
in different ways but to the same end, the salvation
of the world. Our task is to discover how to
live our own vocation to the full. This means
discovering how to make our love radiate out
to those around us. We begin in our homes with
those who are closest to us. Then we can reach
out to the world around us. When we are with
Christ and following him love will be the characteristic
of our lives.
