OPENING PRAYER Dear Jesus, Open our hearts to follow you in our everyday lives. In your name we pray. Amen.

GOSPEL LEARNING Today’s Gospel reading comes from St. Matthew. In the Gospel today, Jesus invited Peter, Andrew, John, and James out in their boats preparing nets for fishing. He called them and asked them to “Come follow me”! Jesus told them that he would show them how to fish People. All leave their families and way of life to follow Jesus in teaching the Good News.

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 4: 12-23 “Jesus Begins His Ministry in Galilee” Source: New Testament Pinoy Version Catholic Edition

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew 12 Nang mabalitaan ni Jesus na inaresto si John, pumunta sya sa Galilee. 13 Pero nag-stay sya sa bayan ng Capernaum imbes na sa Nazareth. Malapit ang bayang ito sa Lake Galilee na sakop ng Zebulun at Naphtali. 14 Kaya natupad ang sinabi ni Prophet Isaiah, 15 “Mga lupain ng Zebulun at Naphtali, daan na papuntang dagat, sa kabilang side ng Jordan, Galilee, lupain ng mga Gentiles!

16 Nakakita ng matinding liwanag ang bayang nababalot sa dilim! Sa mga nabubuhay sa madilim sa madilim na lugar ng kamatayan, sumikat ang liwanag. 17 Kaya simula nun, nag-preach si Jesus, “Magsisi kayo at talikuran ang mga kasalanan nyo kasi malapit nang dumating ang Kaharian ng langit.” 18 Habang naglalakad si Jesus sa Lake Galilee, nakita nya ang magkapatid na sina James at John na mga anak ni Zebedee. Nasa bangka sila kasama ang tatay nila at nag-aayos ng mga lambat nila at sumunod sila kay Jesus. 19 Sabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Sumunod kayo sa akin, at turuan ko kayong mangisda. 20 Iniwan nila agad ang mga lambat nila at sumunod sila kay Jesus.

21 Sa paglalakad nya, nakita ni Jesus ang magkakapatid na sina James at John na mga anak ni Zebedee. Nasa bangka sila kasama ang tatay nila at nag-aayos ng mga lambat. Tinawag din ni Jesus sina James at John. 22 Iniwan nila agad ang bangka, pati ang tatay nila, at sumunod kay Jesus. 23 Nag-ikot si Jesus sa buong Galilee. Nagturo sya sa mga synagogue at nag-preach ng Magandang Balita tungkol sa paghahari ng Diyos. Pinagaling din nya ang lahat ng klase ng sakit at karamdaman ng mga tao. The Gospel of the Lord.

LIVING THE GOSPEL 1. SITUATION In what situation is Jesus inviting you to “Come follow me” at this moment in your life? How can you join the first disciples in saying “yes” to Jesus’ invitation to follow him and become “fishers of men”?

LIVING THE GOSPEL 2. GOSPEL THEME All of us are called to be his disciples of Jesus. Being “fishers of men” would mean that we would be Jesus’ hands and feet here on earth.

LIVING THE GOSPEL 3. GOSPEL CHALLENGE How can your family concretely witness Jesus’ invitation to live as “fishers of men”? Affirm each family member to be Jesus’ hands feet each day by using the hashtag #Jesusindiguise.

TRIVIA: GREAT LIGHT Light reveals something to us that is hidden in darkness and it also guides us in our way. Jesus, as the great light, reveals to us that we are children of God. Similarly, Jesus as the great light leads us towards our real homeland for us to be with God. Source: Halo Sambuhay for Kids
