Do and Mat-mar with the Portus Gate thing. Christ is lower still.

With Him I'll rise again. Oh, yes, let lucky be said. Live in what made friends.

Lift this heavy heart to your throne of God. Give your wounds a fight. Room all of mine.

When Christ was lower, let the key be said. Live in what made friends. Lift this heavy heart to your throne of God.

Give your wounds a fight. Room all of mine. When from race I'm now, Christ was lower, till the earth is still. Christ is lower still.

Today's reading is from the Gospel of Luke.

Once, while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Ganesirate, 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 fisherman 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 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, 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 the shore, they left everything and followed him.

Today's reading lends itself to imaginative contemplation.

As we place ourselves at the scene, we may experience a response that is different to the written or spoken word. Perhaps this is a way of prayer that is familiar to you.

Here we are by the sea of Galilee, a place of industry and commerce.

Compose the place in your imagination. What do you see? What can you hear?
