Daily Marriage Tip for February 10, 2013:
(World Marriage Day) We are reminded that marriage is not just a private affair, but a time for your love to impact the world. Just as Jesus told Simon to Put out into deep water for a catch. (Lk 5:4) find a way to multiply your love through serving or feeding others today.

QUESTIONS:
How did this miracle affect Peter? Why does it seem to have a more profound effect on him than the healing of his mother-in-law (Luke 4:38-39)? What is he beginning to grasp about Jesus? About sin? About belief in himself?
What do you think Simon Peter was thinking and feeling in verse 5? 7? 8? When was the first time, if ever, that you responded to Jesus like Peter did in verse 8?

Put out into deep water! Throw aside the pessimism that makes a coward of you. And let down your nets for a catch. Dont you see that you, like Peter, can say: Jesus, if you say so, I will search for souls? -St. Josemaria Escriva
