Annunciation Parish

Jesus begins his ministry by proclaiming “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is

at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has come

near” (Mark 1:15). Jesus’ coming was the “fullness of time,” - He is the messenger

promised in the Old Testament (Galatians 4:4, Ephesians 1:10). Jesus repeats the message of

John the Baptist, “Repent and believe in the good news.” The emphasis of Mark’s gospel is that

Jesus’ coming is the “good news.” Last Sunday’s story is from the Gospel of John, and this one

is from Mark, with a similar theme.

Last Sunday, we heard Jesus call Philip and Nathanael. In today’s story, he calls four

fishermen at the Sea of Galilee, Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John. We’re not sure what

there was about Jesus that led these and others to leave their homes and families to follow

Jesus. Did they know him already? Or was this their first contact with him? In any case,

there was something remarkably compelling about Jesus to cause these, and others, to follow

him into an uncertain future. Astonishingly, they followed Jesus without question. As far as

we can tell, the twelve people Jesus called to be his companions were ordinary men. Jesus

picked people probably much like you and me. Furthermore, his disciples were anything but

perfect. Many times they misunderstood him. They often hesitated to follow him. Judas

betrayed him and Peter denied him.

Jesus’ first disciples were “northerners,” from the northern province of Galilee. The capital of

Israel was Jerusalem in the former southern kingdom, the religious center with the temple. It

is no wonder that Jesus was greeted with such skepticism when he travelled to Jerusalem from

his home in Galilee. The religious leaders in Jerusalem naturally considered Jesus an outsider.

The disciples were chosen and called personally by Jesus. We believe that God calls each one

of us. He not only calls us to follow Jesus, but also calls us into the fields and careers. We

often speak of “God’s call” too narrowly, as if God “calls” people only into ordained ministry.

That is true: God calls people to be Priests, Deacons and church workers. But God’s call is not

limited to clergy - He calls every single one of us somehow. It is up to us to give God the time to

help us discern our own calling.

Do you ever wonder if a Catholic School could be the right fit for your child?

Corpus Christi School of Wethersfield, a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, is accepting

applications for the 2021 – 22 school year and has limited space available for this current school

year. Our students have been learning in person since September. Corpus Christi School

students benefit from smaller class sizes and personalized instruction as evidenced by their

recent successes. Students scored almost 4 GRADE LEVELS ABOVE their current grade in the

Language Arts/Reading portion of their standardized tests. Imagine how your child could soar!

Come and witness firsthand the Corpus Christi School difference.

To schedule your personalized tour, please email [email protected] or

call 860-529-5487 and ask for Coleen Antico. The school encompasses Preschool – 8th grade.
