In the middle of the sea, we are riding a boat together with my friends Simon and his
brother Andrew. Jesus came and we saw him already and then he told us, to come with him and
he will make us fishers of men. We left our nets into the shore and hurriedly followed him even
though we have a lot of things to do. We also saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother

reflect and contemplate in this morning. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
