3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B (Fisher of Men)

First Reading: Jonah 3:1–5, 10 (They Repented); Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 7:29–31; (The World is Passing); Gospel: Mark 1:14–20 (Repent and Believe)
Adults: What can I do this week to invite a friend or neighbor to follow Christ?
Children: How can I help a friend or classmate feel invited to follow Christ?
 “Repent and believe in the gospel. …Then they abandoned their nets and followed him.” What has caught you in its net that you need to abandon and then repent? As you fish around for a better world, for a way to be a disciple of Jesus, what has ensnared you from which you need to be set free? From what ideas or actions do you need to “Repent and believe in the gospel?” Are you afraid of being caught by the call? What about the net of Jesus scares you?
