22nd Week of Ordinary Time C – Thursday
In today's gospel, we have the wonderful scene of that most amiable of all apostles, Saint Peter, who is out fishing all night, hard work, and he even says to the Lord, “We've engaged in hard work all night, but caught nothing. Yet at your word we will go out again.” Jesus tells him to go out after a night of failure of fishing – to go out again while he's in the boat with him, and hence he catches an enormous amount of fish where all the other boats have to come in and help him out.
