*BENEDICTION
Do not believe yourselves unworthy of God’s call in your life.
We will not believe everything we think.
Do not fear the waters of faith and the dangers of the deep.
Christ is with us in the boat and on our journeys of faith.
Do not doubt that God sees more in us than we see in ourselves.
Thanks be to God!

Isaiah 6:1-8
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty; and
the hem of his robe filled the temple. Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had
six wings: with two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and
with two they flew. And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of
hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.” The pivots on the thresholds shook at the
voices of those who called, and the house filled with smoke.
And I said: “Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a
people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!” Then one of
the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair
of tongs. The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: “Now that this has touched
your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out.” Then I heard the voice of
the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I;
send me!”
Luke 5:1-11
Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was
pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he saw two boats there at the shore of the
lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. He got into one
of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the
shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. When he had finished
speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a
catch.’ Simon answered, ‘Master, we have worked all night long but have caught
nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.’ When they had done this, they
caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. So, they signaled to their
partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats,
so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees,
saying, ‘Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!’ For he and all who were with
him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken; and so also were James and
John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, ‘Do
not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.’ When they had brought their
boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.
