On a Mission for God: His Wisdom and all Comes to Us from Him as We Work as Fisher's of Men for Him!




I love the messages today in the readings from mass this morning when we went to church at St. Luke's for my birthday. It was so nice to hear and helped to clarify my mission and efforts as I reach 57 years here on Earth today.  All wisdom comes from God, we need to heed all and let His will be done and know He knows best. Also that all here on Earth is God's, we are His and under Him, He is in control and we are wiser when we turn all over to Him. We need to follow our God and be fisher's of men here on Earth. Working as disciples for Him, to be examples and be more like God and help others to be on the righteous track as well. I want to try to make it my mission for the next 50-100 years of my life to let the Lord's will be done, listen to His wisdom and know He is in control and has me in the palm of His hand and work toward being a disciple for Him here on Earth. While it is not easy, we cannot conform to this world, but to God as He is in control of all. Let us be wise enough to recognize this and live for our Lord and to be His disciple while on Earth. We can all be miracles for others when we abandon all to Him! 

The Mass Readings for Today:

First Reading

1 CORINTHIANS 3:18-23

18Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness," 20and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile." 21So let no one boast of men. For all things are yours, 22whether Paul or Apol'los or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future, all are yours; 23and you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

Responsorial Psalm

PSALMS 24:1-6
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
    the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas
    and established it on the waters.
3 Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?
    Who may stand in his holy place?
4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
    who does not trust in an idol
    or swear by a false god.[a]
5 They will receive blessing from the Lord
    and vindication from God their Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
    who seek your face, God of Jacob.

Gospel

LUKE 5:1-11

1While the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the Lake of Gennes'aret. 2And he saw two boats by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. 4And when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." 5And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets." 6And when they had done this, they enclosed a great shoal of fish; and as their nets were breaking, 7they beckoned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." 9For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken; 10and so also were James and John, sons of Zeb'edee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; henceforth you will be catching men." 11And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
