How often do our own ideas, our doubts, our negative attitudes cause us to miss the miracle of Christ in our midst? Mindful of all this, Christ commands: "Put out into the deep." If we live life as this risk, then our nets become full with the signs of God's love and care for us. Even our sins cannot impede such abundance because they move us to beg all the more for a fidelity that we could not have apart from Jesus. The Gospel that is being preached to us saves us from what would otherwise shame us. Our sin is purged; our wickedness is removed.
Do not be afraid.
~Magnificat reflection for Mass; Sunday February 10th
