Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
1/21/2012
He passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Then they abandoned their nets and followed him. He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets. Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him.
Mark 1: 15 - 20
St. Francis de Sales was born in Savoy in 1567. After being ordained a priest he labored diligently for the restoration of Catholicism in his country. Chosen bishop of Geneva, he showed himself as a true pastor. His writings inspired and strengthened others.
I am a poor, frightened little creature, the baby of the family, timid and shy by nature and completely lacking in self-confidence; and that is why I should like people to let me live unnoticed and all on my own according to my inclination, because I have to make such enormous efforts about shyness and my excessive fears. Who can fail to see that this is not living according to the spirit? No indeed,… I want to have a good try to overcome these natural passions and little by little learn to do everything that belongs to the office which obedience, proceeding from God has laid upon me. Who can fail to see that this is living according to the Spirit?
Living according to the Spirit means doing the actions which the Spirit of God asks of us, saying the words and thinking the things that he wants. And when I say thinking the things he wants, I am referring to your willed thoughts. I am miserable and so I don’t feel like talking; I feel miserable, but since charity demands that I should talk I will do it: that is what spiritual people say. I have been slighted and I get cross: peacocks and monkeys do as much; I have been slighted and I rejoice: that is what the Apostles did. So I live according to the Spirit, live sweetly and in peace. Be quite confident that God will help you, and in all that happens rest in the arms of his mercy and fatherly goodness.
