them up by hand, repeating the process for hours throughout the darkness of
night.
If they did not work, they would not be able to eat nor feed their families - or receive
an income from the sale of the excess catches.
St Peter and his fellow Fishermen understood the value and significance of hard
work.
The Apostolic Ministry of the Holy Church of Christ requires efforts no less strenuous
or exhausting.
Our Labours on behalf of Christ can seem overwhelming at times, but if we do not
share, preach, teach and fulfil the Good News of the New Covenant, the Church

would starve and become ineffective!

Humility and Obedience are two most essential Virtues that any Faithful Disciple of Our starting point is always wrong.
Christ requires in order to fulfil our Sacred Calling.
Although the Fishermen had worked throughout the night and were

St Peter and his fellow Fishermen knew where the fish were to be located and If everyone would begin first with themselves,
where they were not. Yet, in Obedience to Christ, they agreed to cast their net
one more time - on the other side of the boat.
then there would be Peace all around!
In his humble Obedience to Christ St Peter set very good example for all Believers to
emulate.
On that day our Lord Jesus Christ Called His first Apostles to His Divine Mission that
will radically change the history of the entire world and all mankind.
Our Gracious Saviour never sought out those who were considerd by others as
being perfect, educated, or of high social status.
He avoided the professionals as well as the religious, and instead, He sought out
those people who were simple, humble, and hard working, whom He then
Authorised and Empowered to Transform and Transfigure the whole world and
its people throughout the ages.
Our Lord Jesus Christ seeks those who possess three basic characteristics:
(1) recognition of ones imperfections;
(2) willingness to Labour long, hard and ceaselessly

Brethren: ...Glory, Honour and Peace to
everyone who works what is Good -
to the Judean first and also to the
Hellenes.
For as
many as have sinned without Law
will also perish without Law.
And as many as have sinned in the Law
will be Judged by the Law. (For not
the hearers of the Law are Justified
in the Sight of God, but the doers of
the Law will be Justified.)

Law, are a law unto themselves, who
show the work of the Law written in
their heart, their conscience also
bearing witness.

the Day when God will Judge the
secrets of mankind according to my
Gospel by Jesus Christ.
TO ST MATTHEW 4 : 18 23
At that time, our Lord Jesus, walking by
the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers,
Simon, called Peter, and Andrew, his
brother, casting a net into the sea;
for they were fishermen.
OF APOSTLES 18 JUNE 2017
(3) Obedience to Christs Commandments and Teachings
In his Commentary on the Event of the Miraculous Catch, St Cyril of Alexandria
wrote: Observe - neither Simon Peter nor his companions could draw the nets
to land. Therefore, being speechless from fear and astonishment they
beckoned to their partners, those, that is, who shared their labours in fishing,
to come and help them in securing their catch.
For many have taken part with the Holy Apostles and their Labours and still must
do so today. For today, the Net of Christ must be drawn and summon unto
Conversion those who are in the depths of the sea, those who live in the surge
and waves of worldly affairs. Our Lord needs Fishermen today.
the professional class of Clergy who have less and less time to do Gods Work.
Where are you today? What do you do? Are you a tent maker, a fisherman, a
mother, a doctor, a soldier? Do you sell real estate? Are you an accountant? Are
you retired? Are you a teacher? What do you do?
Whatever you do, wherever you do it, however you do it, God is Calling you to His
Apostolic Work.
In the Creed of Faith, we confess our belief in One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic
Church. This means that we are not merely a Church of the Apostlesbut that
we are a Church of Apostles.
Look at the Icons that adorn our Sanctuary.
Did St George attend Seminary College? Did St Irene have a Degree from Holy
Cross? Was St Moses the Ethiopian a perfect, holy man prior to his Conversion?
It is not training that our Lord is looking for. It is a willing heart.
Can you confess your imperfections before Him and then reach those who are
imperfect for Him? Can you acknowledge and commit to the Work that is
necessary to bring souls to Salvation?
And most importantly, can you be Obedient to the Call of God to become an
Apostle?
It is not enough of us Orthodox to be proud of our Apostolic roots.
We need to become a Church of contemporary Apostles.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
Thou were willingly nailed to the Cross,
O Merciful One, and laid in a tomb as
a mortal, O Giver of Life. By Thy

smashed its might; for Hadess

Thou raised with Thee the dead from

THE MOTHER OF JAMES IS A VEILED REFERENCE TO OUR LADY, THE EVER BLESSED THEOTOKOS.

Now will I Arise, said the Lord: I will
establish them in Salvation; I will
not delay. (2)
VE RSE The Words of the Lord are Pure
Words.
Now will I arise, said the Lord: I will
establish them in Salvation, I will
not delay.
Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary
Magdalene, Mary the Mother of
James1, and Salome bought spices,
that they might go and anoint Him.
Very early in the morning, on the first
day of the week, they went to the
Tomb when the sun had risen.
And they said among themselves: Who
will roll away the stone from the door
of the Tomb for us?
But when they looked up, they saw that
the stone had been rolled away - for
it was very large.
And entering the Tomb, they saw a
young man clothed in a long white
robe sitting on the right side; and
they were alarmed.
But he said to them: Do not be
alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth,
Who was crucified. He is risen! He is
not here. See the place where they
laid Him.
So go, tell His Disciples - and Peter -
that He is going before you into
Galilee; there you will see Him, as He
said to you.
And they went out quickly and fled
from the Tomb, trembling and
amazed. And they said nothing to
anyone, for they were afraid.
