Fifth
Sunday in Ordinary Time
‘Jesus said
to Simon: “Do not
be afraid; from now on it is people
you will catch.”
Then, bringing their boats back to
land, they left everything and followed
him.’ The image that Jesus uses
has a very special relevance for those
he was talking to. They were fishermen.
But it continues to be relevant for
us today because it simply means that
our task is to make Christ attractive
to and available for the people of
our world. This is done first of all
in our homes where the faith is handed
on by parents in the ways they make
their home a place of joy and gladness.
This involves giving up their time
and their own preoccupations for the
sake of each other and their children.
It also determines how a faith community
is developed. The most important thing
about any faith community should be
that it is attractive for others.
This will mean giving up our own comfort
zones so that others can find a home
among us.

The
Footprints of God
A Retreat
for Lent
Church
of Christ the King, Strathroy
Monday Evenings - 8 –
9 pm
(Tea, coffee served at the end of
each evening)
Each Monday evening
of Lent (beginning on Monday before
Ash Wednesday), we will journey reflectively
with Jesus as he makes his way to
Jerusalem.
As we reflect on the
journey Jesus took to Jerusalem, where
he suffered and died for us, we grow
in an understanding of the journey
of our own lives and find nourishment
and guidance for our pilgrimage through
life.

Join us as we walk in the Footprints
of God …
