‘They immediately left the ship and their Father”
The second Sunday after Pentecost shows us the practical application of the great call to renunciation formulated by Jesus in the gospel for the first Sunday. The gospel read today at the liturgy (Matt. 4:18-23) tells of the calling of the first apostles. On the shore of Lake Galilee, Jesus sees Simon and Andrew fishing. He says to them: ‘Follow me’. He wants to make them fishers of men. ‘And they straightway left their nets, and followed him’. Further on Jesus meets James and John, also fishermen, in the company of their father, Zebedee. Jesus calls them. ‘They immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.’ The new disciples abandoned their nets and their ships: ‘Jesus sometimes asks us to renounce our profession, our instruments of work, whatever we possess. But some sons, at the call of Jesus, abandon their father too: sometimes he wants us to abandon family affections, human friendships, created love. This is not a purely negative attitude. Jesus’ call has a very positive aspect: one must follow the Master. But the first apostles could not have followed the Master if they had not first of all left their ships, and their nets, and their father. And what have I abandoned in order to follow Jesus? What does he want me to leave?
