Anyone could be Jesus' disciple

Thursday of the Twenty-second week in Ordinary Time

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 5:1-11. 

While the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God, he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret. 
He saw two boats there alongside the lake; the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets. 
Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. 
After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch." 
Simon said in reply, "Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets." 
When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing. 
They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come to help them. They came and filled both boats so that they were in danger of sinking. 
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, "Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man." 
For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him, 
and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men." 
When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him.

Reflection:

Jesus chooses people who humble themselves. It is very clear that when Simon Peter saw the miracle of Jesus, he recognize Jesus as the Son of the Father. But when Simon Peter knelt down Jesus also recognizes him and choose him to be one of his disciples. So, Jesus will never select people who are perfect to follow Him. He select people who are interested to follow him by heart to be a fisher of men. Anyone of us could be His disciple if we will allow Jesus to sink in our heart and follow Him.
