I'm going fishing

 Some years back when I was still in the seminary  one day at the beginning of Mass Father Provincial said “I am going fishing”. All students were surprised, but he repeated again  “I am going fishing”. Then my friend in the bench whispered to me – are you not joining him. Well that day was the Gospel from St. John 21:3-4.  As Peter informed other disciples about his going for fishing they responded that they would join him. I think Peter was tired of all what was happening around and needed a break. I also follow an example of Peter and regularly take a day off for resting. Normally I go for fishing but there is more than fishing – there is a beautiful nature, which one can admire with plenty different spices of birds and animals, including my friends crocodiles. There are very quiet and peaceful places, very good for refreshing and relaxing. It is just fantastic. I am sure you too must be  tired and deserve a break from time to time. Are you ready to join me? I am going fishing……………..
