Gospel: Luke 5:1–11
“Put out into the deep.” That’s what Jesus tells Simon Peter after a night of frustration and empty nets. It’s a word that speaks to every tired parent, weary worker, struggling caregiver, and priest who wonders if their effort makes a difference. Peter’s obedience, trusting the word of Christ even in fatigue, unleashes abundance and awe, leading to confession and mission.
In today’s homily from Saint Edward Catholic Church in Richard, LA, Fr. Korey reminds us: empty nets don’t define us. Christ does. At His word, we move from darkness to light, from discouragement to discipleship.
