Memorial of Saint Benedict

Matthew 10:1-7






*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus commissions the twelve Apostles. Perhaps
we can see here a fulfillment of his prophetic invitation to the first
disciples: “Come after me and I will make you fishers of men.” “Come after
me.” This is a Hebraicism that indicates discipleship. Jesus is not
offering a doctrine, a theology, or a set of beliefs. He is offering
himself. He’s saying, “Walk in my path; enter into the world that I have
opened up.” “And I will make you fishers of men.” This is one of the best
lines in Scripture. Notice the first part of the phrase: “I will make
you...” God is the one who makes us from nothing. To live in sin is to live
outside of the creative power of God, to pretend that we can make
ourselves. How wonderful that he tells us that he will make us! And what he
makes us is always a reflection of himself: a fisher of men. God wants to
draw all things and all people into a community around him, in him. He is a
fisher of people—and so wants us to be.*
