”Called to Be Fishers of Men: Embracing the Gospel Message”

In this episode, listeners are invited to reflect on the readings for Monday of the First Week in Ordinary Time, focusing on the Memorial of St. Hillary, Bishop and Doctor of the Church. The first reading from the Letter to the Hebrews highlights the supremacy of Jesus, the Son of God, who is the reflection of God's glory and the sustainer of all creation.

The responsorial psalm calls for all angels to worship the Lord, emphasizing His justice and kingship. The Gospel according to Mark recounts the calling of Simon, Andrew, James, and John by Jesus. By leaving their nets to follow Him, these fishermen were transformed into fishers of men, illustrating the call to leave behind old ways and embrace a life of faith, courage, and discipleship.

Listeners are encouraged to embody the message of the Gospel by faithfully following Jesus, inspiring others, seeking His will, and sharing the good news with courage and compassion. Through prayer and reflection, the episode urges believers to respond to God's invitation with open hearts and willing spirits.
