He left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, that what had been said through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled: <em>Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen.<\/em> From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, \u201cRepent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.\u201d As he was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, \u201cCome after me, and I will make you fishers of men.\u201d At once they left their nets and followed him. He walked along from there and saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat, with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him. He went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, I thank you for calling me to be a fisher of men. Help me to step out in faith and to have the courage to bring your message of hope to everyone I meet today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Encountering Jesus Every Day:<\/strong> Peter, Andrew, James, and John met Jesus on the seashore while they were doing their everyday chores. When he invited them to become fishers of men, their \u201cyes\u201d was immediate. Before we can evangelize others, we must first encounter Jesus in our own lives and come to know him by spending time with him in prayer. In his Apostolic Exhortation \u201cThe Joy of the Gospel,\u201d Pope Francis invited us to this life-changing encounter: \u201cI invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an openness to letting him encounter them; I ask all of you to do this unfailingly each day\u201d (<em>Evangelii Gaudium<\/em>, 3).\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saying \u201cYes\u201d to Being a Disciple:<\/strong> Having encountered Jesus and heard his call to us, we must learn to follow where he leads us. The disciples immediately left their nets to follow him. We too need to be willing to leave our attachments to anything that holds us back from following the Lord. This is part of the repentance\u2014the change of thinking and living\u2014to which Jesus calls us.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Being a Missionary Disciple: <\/strong>Jesus modeled everything he would eventually ask the disciples to do. He proclaimed the Gospel and cured every disease and illness among the people. He asked them\u2014and he asks us\u2014to do the same. Our mission is to be a light which shines in the darkness, offering Christ to those around us who are lost or hurting. Pope Francis said, \u201cIn virtue of their baptism, all the members of the People of God have become missionary disciples (cf. Mt 28:19)\u2026 The new evangelization calls for personal involvement on the part of each of the baptized. Every Christian is challenged, here and now, to be actively engaged in evangelization\u201d (<em>Evangelii Gaudium<\/em>, 120). How are we responding to this call to live as missionary disciples given to us in our baptism?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> O Jesus, give me the grace to encounter you every day in my prayer and in my silence. Help me to step out of my comfort zone in order to follow where you are calling me.

Thank you for coming to save us!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Works of the Spirit:<\/strong> The Pharisees and scribes went to incredible lengths to discredit Jesus. They watched to see if he would heal people on the Sabbath. They listened to his every word to hear if he would blaspheme against God. And in these Scripture verses, they said he was possessed by a demon. Ironically, they themselves blaspheme against the Holy Spirit by attributing the good works of the Holy Spirit to Satan. Are there times when we do not recognize the good things that God has done for us and instead chalk them up to good luck, coincidence, or our own efforts?\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Merciful Messiah:<\/strong> The Pharisees wanted to detract from Jesus to keep their own power over the people. They desperately wanted to discredit his works of mercy: \u201cThe blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them\u201d (Mt 11:5). The Pharisees knew that these were the works of the Messiah that Isaiah had prophesied (cf. Isa 29:17-19, 26:19, 35:5-6). We recognize Jesus as our merciful Messiah, and we have the honor and joy to continue his redemptive mission through our own works of mercy.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Stronger Man:<\/strong> In this parable, Jesus is not the strong man; he is the <em>stronger<\/em>man. Satan is the strong man, but Jesus has triumphed over Satan by tying him up and plundering, or stealing back, what he possessed by expelling the demon. Jesus was able to give authority to the Apostles to drive out demons (cf. Mk 3:15) because Jesus himself has complete authority over the unclean spirits. He has complete authority over our lives as well. Are there broken parts of our lives that we feel God cannot fix? Let us pray to have the faith and trust in God to hand those over to his powerful authority.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Jesus, you are the Messiah, the Holy One of God. Your mighty power leaves me in awestruck wonder. Help me to see what is broken, lame, or unclean in me, and then let me hand that over to you.

In my healing, let me pour out what you have given me to others so that they too are filled with your joy and love.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution: <\/strong>Lord, today by your grace I will examine my conscience to see what is unclean in me.

Standing outside, they sent word to Jesus and called him. A crowd seated around him told him, \u201cYour mother and your brothers and your sisters are outside asking for you.\u201d But he said to them in reply, \u201cWho are my mother and my brothers?\u201d And looking around at those seated in the circle he said, \u201cHere are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Dear Jesus, send your Holy Spirit to my heart and help me discern God\u2019s will for me today and always.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Chosen Ones:<\/strong> Could Jesus really mean that his family is not important? Why would he say this? Here Jesus is telling us in a striking way how our fidelity to God\u2019s will is more important than the family we inherited at birth. The Jewish people listening to him had been told that they were God\u2019s chosen people (cf. Deut 14:2). Many believed they were saved simply because they were Jewish. Jesus breaks down their preconception to show that those who carry out the will of his heavenly Father are his true brothers and sisters, the new chosen ones. As Catholics, we can sometimes fall into a false sense of security ourselves. Our cultural identity as Catholics is not our \u201cticket to heaven.\u201d As Catholics, we are called to live a personal, authentic love relationship with Jesus through daily prayer and the sacraments.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Family in Christ: <\/strong>The Church is a family in Christ. \u201cBut to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God\u201d (Jn 1:12). The grace of our baptism, along with our personal decision to accept Jesus, is what makes us God\u2019s beloved children, \u201cand if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ\u201d (Rom 8:17). Do we live out of a deep conviction that we are God\u2019s beloved children, his royal heirs? This should fill us with gratitude, joy, dignity, and a sense of responsibility.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Renewing Our Mind:<\/strong> As God\u2019s children, we have a great responsibility to carry out his will (cf. Lk 12:48). Staying close to Jesus in prayer and the sacraments is the best way to know the will of God. When the Holy Spirit leads us, our very lives become a type of worship-filled liturgy. \u201cI urge you therefore [\u2026] to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect\u201d (Rom 12:1-2). Through prayer, God breaks down any misconceptions we have; he \u201crenews our mind\u201d with his own pure thoughts and words.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Jesus, please give me the grace to pray frequently in order to submit myself to God\u2019s will. You know my every thought and action before I do (cf. Ps 139:1-5).

A very large crowd gathered around him so that he got into a boat on the sea and sat down. And the whole crowd was beside the sea on land. And he taught them at length in parables,\u00a0and in the course of his instruction he said to them,\u00a0\u201cHear this! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path,\u00a0and the birds came and ate it up. Other seed fell on rocky ground where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep. And when the sun rose, it was scorched and it withered for lack of roots.\u00a0Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it\u00a0and it produced no grain. And some seed fell on rich soil and produced fruit. It came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.\u201d He added, \u201cWhoever has ears to hear ought to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Come, Holy Spirit, plant the seed of your Word deep inside me. Cultivate and nourish rich soil in me so that I might bear good fruit for your glory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Strong Roots Help Us Persevere in Faith:<\/strong> The seeds that fall on rocky ground have no roots to nourish them, so they quickly die when the hot sun scorches them. Suffering for Christ is difficult, even by his side. Tribulations like illness, poverty, or simply day-to-day problems can cause us to lose hope if we are not strongly rooted in Christ. Similarly, bearing persecution for Christ\u2019s sake is nearly impossible without a deep prayer life to nourish us. When we are going through a trial, staying close to Jesus in prayer and the sacraments keeps us strong so that we can persevere in faith.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Selfish Habits Steal Energy:<\/strong> The seedlings that grow up among the thorns are choked before they can bear fruit. The weedy thorns steal their nutrients. Likewise, anxieties about our earthly needs steal our energy. We can get caught up in a self-focused cycle of worrying about our own needs, which prevents us from loving God and our neighbors. Having an excessive desire for wealth and power is another way that selfishness can spiritually choke us. Trusting God to remove the selfish thorns of anxiety and worldly cravings helps us to grow deep, strong roots and become a \u201cplanting of the Lord to show his glory\u201d (Isa 61:3).\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Good Soil Equals Good Fruit: <\/strong>The seedlings in the good soil grow deep roots and bear an abundance of fruit. Good soil does not usually come naturally; it must be cultivated and fed. We can ask God to cultivate our hearts to remove any rocks and thorns. Time for prayer, Scripture reading, and allowing God to nourish us with his sacraments all feed our soil. Then the seed of his Word will fall on the good soil of our hearts. When we receive and accept the Word, it will grow in us and we will bear good fruit. Offering works of mercy out of love for one another is how we can bear \u201cfruit that will remain\u201d (Jn 15:16).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ: <\/strong>Jesus, I can become anxious about my needs. I forget to bring them to you in prayer. I become self-reliant and forget how much you provide for me. This selfish worry steals my peace, energy, and joy, leaving me dry and unable to carry out the mission you have entrusted to me. Cultivate and prune me so that I can joyfully bear fruit in loving service to my brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will reflect on the soil that is my spiritual life. I will pray to ask you to remove whatever is impeding me from truly loving you and others.<\/p>\n<p>Carey Boyzuck is a wife, mother, freelance writer, and a lay member of Regnum Christi.

For there is nothing hidden except to be made visible; nothing is secret except to come to light. Anyone who has ears to hear ought to hear.\u201d He also told them, \u201cTake care what you hear.

God the Father did not send this light to us to be hidden. No, the light must be held up high and shine forth so that all people may be illuminated by it. We are called to make Jesus visible to the world through our acts of love and works of mercy. The love we show to others and the good works that we offer manifest the love of God in the world. Taking a meal to a new mother, sending a card to lift the spirits of a struggling friend, or offering to pray with someone in need of God\u2019s loving direction are all simple ways to let the light of Christ shine.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bearers of the Lampstand:<\/strong> During his Passion, the Christ Light was placed high upon the lampstand of the Cross. There are many people in our everyday lives who do not truly know the love of God or the joy of the Gospel. People in our workplaces, schools, and even in our own homes long for the warmth of Christ\u2019s light. Those of us who know and love God have a responsibility to share the love of Christ to those who have not experienced him.

As bearers of the Christ Light, we are called to receive and be filled with mercy, forgiveness, and love from God and then pour it out to others. The more we offer these heavenly gifts to others, the more God will return that mercy, forgiveness, and love back to us.

it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land and would sleep and rise night and day and the seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how. Of its own accord the land yields fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And when the grain is ripe, he wields the sickle at once, for the harvest has come.\u201d He said, \u201cTo what shall we compare the Kingdom of God, or what parable can we use for it? It is like a mustard seed that, when it is sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth. But once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the sky can dwell in its shade.\u201d With many such parables he spoke the word to them as they were able to understand it. Without parables he did not speak to them, but to his own disciples he explained everything in private.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, open my heart to receive your Word. Please bless me with the gifts of prudence and temperance so that I might understand today\u2019s parables and be open and docile to your teaching.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Unseen Grace: <\/strong>In the Parable of the Seed growing in secret, the seed is the Word of God, just as it was a few verses back in the Parable of the Sower. When the seed of God\u2019s Word is sown inside a heart that is able to accept and receive it (cf. Mk 4:20), it grows on its own\u2014it is alive, \u201cthe word of God is living and effective\u201d (Heb 4:12). How the Word inside us grows inside us is a mystery. Of course, we can contribute to this growth by nurturing it with prayer and receiving the sacraments, but here Jesus is emphasizing the grace of God working deep inside us, unseen.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grace at Work:<\/strong> God can use the tiniest things and grow them into something spectacular. The tiny mustard seed grows from what resembles a speck of dirt into a huge plant that is full of life. Jesus reminds us that the smallest openness to faith is all that is needed for God\u2019s grace to work. What was once a tiny seed of God\u2019s Word planted in an open heart can, over time, grow to become a rich faith, full of virtue and life.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Word Brings Life:<\/strong> The seeds in both of these parables grow to bear life: the full, ripe grain to be harvested and the birds that dwell in the branches of the mustard plant. The Kingdom of God is full of life. Accepting the seed that is God\u2019s Word is the start to this fruitful life. In secret, deep inside the good soil of our hearts, the Word grows and begins to change us. We grow in virtue and we bear fruit in works of love for God and each other. God\u2019s Kingdom comes to the earth through us when we receive his Word in our hearts and manifest it into the world. Thy Kingdom come!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Jesus, I want to have your life within me. Grow your Word deep within my heart. Help it to become a fruitful plant that gives you glory and attracts others to admire your beauty. Let me always be open to your Word and truly care for the planting that is the spiritual life you have grown in me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution: <\/strong>Lord, today by your grace I will read a portion of the Gospel and allow your Word to penetrate deep inside my heart.<\/p>\n<p>Carey Boyzuck is a wife, mother, freelance writer, and a lay member of Regnum Christi.

And other boats were with him. A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up. Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, \u201cTeacher, do you not care that we are perishing?\u201d He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, \u201cQuiet! Be still!\u201d The wind ceased and there was great calm. Then he asked them, \u201cWhy are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?\u201d They were filled with great awe and said to one another, \u201cWho then is this whom even wind and sea obey?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, open my spiritual eyes to see your power and presence active in my daily life. Lift my vision to the distant horizon to which you lead me through turbulent waters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>\u201c\u2026 Just As He Was\u201d:<\/strong> The disciples took Jesus with them <em>just as he was. <\/em>According to Isaiah 53:2, \u201cHe had no majestic bearing to catch our eye\u2026\u201d Who would have guessed he had power to calm the squall? The Apostles had yet to discover the real Jesus and the power of his mere presence. He is still \u201cthe teacher\u201d and not yet their ultimate security. Jesus does not always \u201ccatch our eye,\u201d but he is unfailingly present. He remains unassuming, waiting for us to fix our attention on him. He tests our faith in the power of his presence. Take a moment to fix your spiritual eyes on Jesus, present in your \u201cboat.\u201d\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Surprises Serve God\u2019s Purpose:<\/strong> The Sea of Galilee is more like a small lake. Most of the year, clear skies grace the fishermen. However, a storm can brew with little prior notice. From the shores, the waves do not look menacing. But fear is the normal response from those caught in a violent squall in a small fishermen\u2019s boat. The Apostles were frightened for their lives, but more than being surprised by the squall, they were incredulous at Jesus\u2019 apparent disinterest in their plight. How could Jesus remain so aloof? An opportunity was lost to them that day, a chance to grow in deeper faith and trust, which is the response of a disciple whose eyes are fixed on the always-present Savior. Like the violent squall, surprises in our life serve God\u2019s <em>ultimate<\/em> They forge mature hearts strengthened by faith and trust in the promise and power of God, even when he acts contrary to our expectations. Lord, I make an act of trust in you.\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quiet! Be Still!:<\/strong> Jesus uses these same words in Mark 1:25 to silence a demon. While he rebukes the wind and subdues the turbulent sea, perhaps he also speaks to the disciples\u2019 agitated spirits. History, all the way back to the Garden of Eden, reveals the human inclination to distrust and fear when a tainted, prejudiced \u201cvoice\u201d obscures our vision of the <em>real God<\/em>. In this scenario, Jesus calmed the external chaos. It served his purpose of inciting a living faith and deeper trust in his Apostles. Their response was awe, and they questioned who he was, this \u201cteacher\u201d who could command even the winds and sea. Awe would have been the appropriate response from the very start, when they took Jesus into their boat \u201cas he was,\u201d the Son of God, the Lord of history, the Prince of Peace.

He began to teach them, saying: \u201cBlessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter all kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Prayer: <\/strong>Father, you dwell in heaven with all your blessed ones. I believe that through Christ you are calling me to be holy and happy, both in this life and in the next. I love you and wish to correspond better to the many graces you shower upon me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Beatitudes of the World: <\/strong>There is nothing more human than the pursuit of happiness. Life without happiness is a cruel existence. Liberty without the possibility of happiness is an illusion. Now, according to the world\u2019s standards, it seems that being happy consists in one or more of the following: wealth, fame, power, physical and mental health, pleasure, and calmness of mind. Even a Christian can easily slide into this way of thinking, implicitly making these values the standards for their happiness. For these are the beatitudes of the world, the beatitudes that the media capitalizes on, the beatitudes of power politics, the beatitudes of merely earthly success. It is this set of values with which the world will judge \u201cquality of life\u201d\u2014what a life is \u201cworth.\u201d<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>A New Model: <\/strong>The beatitudes that Christ lays down in this Gospel passage are not just a bunch of airy and abstract principles. Rather, the first Blessed One is Christ himself. This new set of values\u2013\u2013being poor in spirit, meek, hungry for righteousness, pure of heart, etc.\u2013\u2013these are simply aspects of his own life. Put yourself in the scene on the mountain with Christ, and allow yourself to be struck, along with the people who saw and heard him, by the fact that Christ is happy, extremely happy. He exudes a profound interior freedom that allows him to devote himself entirely to serving God and others. The world and its pomp have no hold on him. Listening to Christ, you are drawn to exclaim, \u201cThis man knows what he is talking about. He knows what heaven is like. He knows firsthand that heavenly blessedness far outstrips any worldly happiness I could imagine.\u201d<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Personal Value System: <\/strong>Our contemplation of Christ cannot leave us unchanged today. We need to resolve to adopt the standards that Christ sets before us. If we want to be happy like Christ, we need to make his beatitudes our very own standards for life. Nietzsche got it wrong when he thought that Christian values were mere \u201cconsolation prizes\u201d for those who could not make it in the world. No; rather, a Christian wants to imitate the happiest man that ever lived: Jesus. If we have to make a choice between grasping for power and striving for spiritual poverty, between worldly success and working for justice, between unbridled sensual pleasure and being clean of heart, between getting along with the world and being persecuted for Christ, let us choose with all our soul the latter. Even here on earth we will experience blessedness, a blessedness that will be completed in heaven.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Conversing with Christ: <\/strong>Lord Jesus, thank you for being my example of a truly happy person. I see that your standards are radically different from the standards of the world. Enlighten my soul with the wisdom of your beatitudes, and give me the grace to live according to them at all times. Grant me the joy of the blessedness of heaven, and even a share of that blessedness here on earth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resolution: <\/strong>Lord, today by your grace I will see which of Christ\u2019s beatitudes challenges my present way of living the most, and I will adopt that beatitude today by applying it to my life in a concrete way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong>\u00a0<a
