Theme: Awareness of God’s presence
1st
Reading: Isaiah, chapter 6: 1-2a, 3-8
In the presence of the
Almighty God, Isaiah felt unclean, and not worthy to be anywhere near the Lord
of Hosts. The same Lord cleansed his lips so that he could respond to the call
to be a prophet.
2nd
Reading: 1st letter of Paul to the Corinthians, chapter 15: 1-11
Paul acknowledges his
nothingness in the presence of the Lord, whose church he had persecuted in the
past. He notes that it is by the grace of this same God that he became an
Apostle. God can turn the unworthy into instruments of his love.
Gospel
Reading: Luke, chapter 5: 1-11
The miraculous catch became
the turning point in the life of Simon Peter. The Lord used that event to
create the awareness of his presence in him. Peter’s reaction was that of
acknowledgement of his sinful nature, and total submission to the Lord.
