Description
A Vocation that Costs no Less than Everything: Bursting onto the scene alone, Jesus announces that the Kingdom of God is at hand. His first action is to call others to follow him. As he journeys towards a destiny that only God can determine, he asks that others join him as followers. They must come after him. Leaving all that their peers would regard as the sign of their great success as fishermen at the Lake of Galilee, they will be associated with Jesus in bringing the Word of God and the Kingdom of God to others. They will act as God's fishermen, empowered by their association with Jesus. Presented by world-renowned biblical scholar Rev. Professor Francis J. Moloney SDB AM, Audio Divina, is a Lectio-Divina styled reflection on the gospel for The Baptism of the Lord, Year B. Gospel Reading: Mark 1:7-11 This week’s readers are Jen and Joseph Narrated and Produced by Michael Gartland For more information visit: www.salesians.org.au/info/audiodivina
