FRATERNITY is doing as the fishermen do

Description "The people... listened to the message with great eagerness , and every day they studied the Scriptures." ~ Acts 17:11

In hi s Journal of a Soul, Pope John XXIII describes an experience he had during a retreat in Turkey. He wrote:

"Every evening from the windo w... I see an assemblage of boats on the Bosporus; they come round from th e Golden Horn in tens and hundreds... a most impressive spectacle of color and lights. These lights glow all night and one can hear the cheerful voice s of the fishermen... The other night towards one o'clock, it was pouring with rain, but the fishermen were still there... What a vision of work, z eal, and labor... We must do as the fishermen of the Bosporus do." ~ Mark Link, S.J.

To what extent do I labor more zealously at succeeding i n material undertakings than I do at succeeding in spiritual ones?

< i>"I have complete confidence in the gospel; it is God's power to save all who believe." ~ Romans 1:16
