Theme: “Ya Gotta Leave to Follow”: We often describe these stories as Jesus “calling” the disciples; like when your Mom yells from downstairs asking for help? But these fishermen were compelled to leave everything they knew and follow this itinerant stranger–as if they had no choice. What does it mean to be a Jesus follower if leaving is the cost?
Scripture: Luke 5:1-11
Prayer: Jesus, you invite all to “Come to me! Follow me! Be my disciples!” And so we come to this ‘place’, to this time, at the invitation of You, our Sibling, our Presence, our Guide. In the name of Love, we accept the invitation to follow. In the name of Love, we love God and our neighbors. In the midst of a world where cruelty abounds, we proclaim the God of Compassion. In the midst of despair that threatens to swallow up whole lives, whole peoples, our whole Earth, we proclaim the God of Hope. In the midst of indifference and apathy, we proclaim you, God of Love. Come, let us worship together and share our witness of God’s Grace and living presence in the world. —Adapted from On Earth Peace Website, onearthpeace.org.
