Readings.  Gospel: Luke 5:1-11

       "On my very first visit to Israel, we arrived in Galilee in the late evening.  It was dark and a moonless night. After a light meal, I pulled back the curtain and was taken aback at the scene laid out before me.  For there was the Sea of Galilee, faintly discernible by starlight. As I looked more closely, I saw a large circle of light bobbing up and down somewhere in the middle of the sea.  It was breathtakingly beautiful to observe.  And at first, I was baffled as to what was actually happening.  But suddenly, it occurred what I was seeing, a small group of fishermen doing what they have done for thousands of years on Galilee.  They had laid down their nets for a catch.  Fishing for St. Peter's fish, a large delicacy enjoyed locally at many a hotel."
