light to others.

3rd Sunday Ordinary Time Year A
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
In today’s Gospel, Jesus begins His ministry and calls the first disciples: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
He doesn’t ask for experience or perfection - just willing hearts and trust. Like Simon, Andrew, James and John, we are invited to leave what holds us back and step into a life of purpose.
Following Jesus means bringing God’s love into our everyday lives, helping others, and living our faith boldly. Let us listen for His call and respond with courage and generosity.
