Diego
Following Jesus
Luke tells us that Jesus
provides more than just
a miraculous catch of
fish. Imagine if you
will, a group of tired
fishermen who have
been tending their nets
unsuccessfully all night
and into the dampness
of the early morning. As the fishermen were mending their
nets, Jesus tells Simon, a professional fisherman, where to
fish, and even where to drop their nets. Out of sheer curiosity and a little tinge of respect, Peter tells him that area did
not look too good, but he would try it once more. Peter and
the rest of the fishermen were awestruck at this miracle.
Peter immediately recognized his own insignificance in
comparison to Jesus’ greatness. Peter knew about Jesus’
healing power, but he was amazed that Jesus cared about his
day-to-day routine and understood his needs.
God is interested, not only in saving us, but also in helping
us in our daily lives. When we decide to follow God, two
major preconditions appear. We must first recognize that our
human nature is good but has been wounded by sin. Then we
must recognize the futility of human effort by itself to overcome sin, just as these men had fished all night without
success, but at the powerful command of Jesus, filled their
nets. Jesus had established authority in the synagogue first
by healing the sick and casting out demons. Now he established authority in their lives and on their level and helped
them in their work. They then left their nets and followed
him and became fishers of men (Luke 5:10-11).
For us to follow Jesus is more than acknowledging him as
Savior. It means renouncing our sinful past completely and,
in obedience and humility, devoting our lives and future to
him.

2016 Annual
Catholic
Appeal
St. Didacus Parish is pleased to participate
in the 2016 Annual Catholic Appeal. This
appeal supports charitable needs throughout the Diocese of San Diego. Your gifts
make possible the work that impacts so
many in our diocese: service to the poor
and imprisoned, education for children in
Catholic schools and training of catechists,
formation of candidates for the
priesthood, ministry to our youth and to
young people on university campuses, and
preparation of couples for marriage.
Our parish goal this year is $22,000.
Participation in the Annual Catholic Appeal
accomplishes something simple but
profound: it offers us the opportunity to be
merciful just as God, our Father, is
merciful. Because of your gift, someone
will have the opportunity to experience
God’s loving grace, know His Mercy, and
rest in His peace.
Please make your pledge today! There are
many ways to respond to the Annual
Catholic Appeal:
—A monthly or quarterly pledge
—A one-time cash gift
—A credit card or electronic funds transfer,
which may now be processed by the
Diocese, or you may visit
www.sdcatholic.org
—A gift of stocks and bonds
Note that the Annual Catholic Appeal
qualifies for many company matching gift
programs.
If you didn’t receive a pledge card in the
mail you can pick one up in the Church.

School Gift Card Sale
This Sunday!
A representative will be here on
Sunday after Mass to sell gift
cards. They had such success
with their sale during December,
they wanted to give you another opportunity to pick up gift
cards and at the same time support the school. Think about
gift cards for upcoming birthdays, anniversaries, Easter,
graduations or for places you frequently shop at. They have
lots of stores to choose from.

www.dynamiccatholic.com.

“Come after me and I will
make you fishers of men.”
February 7, 2016
During Lent we are called to practice
three traditional facets of Christian penance: charity, prayer and fasting. Each
of these three practices takes us outside
and beyond ourselves: toward others
through charity, toward God through
prayer, toward ourselves through fasting. Take some
time today to think about how you will incorporate these
practices into your life during the season of Lent.
Guidelines for Fast &Abstinence
During Lent
Abstinence is a penitential practice consisting
of refraining from the consumption of meat
and is to be observed by all Catholics who are
14 years of age and older. Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and
the Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence.
In addition to abstinence, fasting is to be observed by all
Catholics between the ages of 18-59 (inclusive). On days of
fasting, one full meal is allowed. Two smaller meals, sufficient
to maintain strength, may be taken according to one’s needs,
but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating
between meals is not permitted, but liquids are allowed. Note: If
a person is unable to observe the above regulations due to ill
health or other serious reasons, they are urged to practice
other forms of self-denial that are suitable to their condition.

Dejándolo todo lo siguieron
Sin que desmerezca el oficio de los pescadores, lo que le propone Jesús a
Pedro es una superación en el oficio que hasta ahora había desempeñado: pescar
hombres y mujeres para el Reino es una empresa más noble y difícil que pescar
peces, es algo más milagroso que la pesca que acaban de hacer.
Pero algunos llamados a esta nueva labor son también invitados a “dejarlo
todo” para seguir a Cristo. Los necesita dedicados a tiempo completo, dedicándole a esta “misión” todas
las fuerzas. Pescar hombres y mujeres para el Reino exige renunciar a todo lo demás y asumir a Jesús como
única posesión. La misión a la que se llama exige desprenderse por completo, para apegarse totalmente a
Jesús. En el relato de hoy se van con Jesús, que vale mucho más que las dos barcas llenas de pescados que
les acaba de regalar. Dejan esa abundante pesca que los había admirado tanto porque comprenden que la
vocación compromete al ser humano en un trabajo que está por encima de los trabajos humanos ordinarios.
La vocación–misión es una invitación a colaborarle a Dios, un trabajo milagroso. Oremos hoy por aquellos
que dejándolo todo se han ido tras el Señor.
