WEEKLY REFLECTION

Put Out into Deep Water
02-09-2025 | Fr. Augustine Acheme, VCPut Out into Deep Water The Gospel for today (Luke 5:1-11) presents a striking moment in Simon Peter’s life- one that changes everything. After a long, fruitless night of fishing, Jesus instructs him to “Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” Initially hesitant, Peter obeys, and the result is overwhelming: a miraculous catch of fish, so abundant that the nets begin to tear. In awe and humility, Peter falls at Jesus’ knees, confessing his unworthiness. Yet, Jesus calls him beyond his self-doubt: “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” This passage invites us to reflect on trust, obedience, and the call to deeper discipleship.
