At that time, when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he returned to Galilee. But he did not live in Nazareth, but in Capernaum. This city is on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali. This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: โThe land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles! The people who walked in darkness have seen a light. The light that shines on them has dawned on those who sit in the shadow of death.โ From that time on, Jesus began to preach, saying, โRepent, for the kingdom of God has come near.โ As Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two fishermen, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea. He said to them, โFollow me, and I will make you fishers of men.โ Immediately, they left their nets and followed him.
And as he went on from there, he saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee, in a boat with their father, mending their nets. Jesus called them. And immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
Jesus went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God and healing all their diseases and infirmities.

After our celebration of the Christmas season and the Feast of the Santo Nino last Sunday, we now return to the Sundays of Ordinary Time. The longest season in the liturgy of our Church reminds us that the ordinary preaching of Christ reveals the extraordinary graces of God. Todayโs Gospel is the beginning of Jesusโ ministry in Galilee. He first proclaimed conversion because the Kingdom of God is here. This refers to the Gospel about the reign of God in our lives, that what should reign in us is peace, justice, and love. So Jesus is the light of the world that surrounds the people living in darkness. The light of Christ became the light of his interaction with human life to teach it about the Reign of God the Father. So Jesus preached about his Father and performed miracles of healing the sick. So this is the kingdom that the Lord wants to show where there is love, peace, and righteous living. And we see the light of that Word revealed in the call of those who respond to his invitation to become his disciples. Jesus called his first four disciples to be โfishers of men.โ This is the mission of the Church to proclaim the Gospel so that everyone can be saved and brought to our loving Father God. And we, as baptized Catholics, are invited to share in Christโs mission by preaching his Gospel and bearing witness to it in our daily lives. Where our love, reconciliation, and righteousness toward one another are present, the kingdom of God is present, although we still hope to achieve it someday. ๐คโจ๏ธ
