Fishing in the waters of faith

,

Go ahead!

Click your cursor a few times in the water and watch the fish come and gobble up their lunch!

There are fish in this weekend's gospel - and fishermen, too. But at just a word from Jesus they abandon their cursors their nets and begin to follow him.

Can you move your cursor down here and click on this link to the weekend's scriptures and some interesting commentary on them?  And if some children are fishing with you, click here for some hints on helping them prepare to hear the Lord's Word when they come to Mass.

The first scripture tells part of Jonah's story - he of the really big fish who swallowed him whole!  And in the second scripture for the day, St. Paul gives a very brief but important warning: "Time is running out!"

The fish swimming at the top of the post will be here when you get back from the two links and they'll be just as hungry.  So take some time to read and ponder Sunday's readings - it's a great way to prepare now to worship on the Lord's Day.

And remember: whatever you do with your nets, the Lord has cast his line and hopes to catch you!
