“Pescador De Hombres” or “Lord, You Have Come” is a very moving song expressing a response to a calling from Christ to “follow him.” The author, Casáreo Gabaráin, manages to combine imagery, symbolism, and metaphor: (“...at your side, I will seek other shores), with a simple but beautiful melody that inspires us and moves us to consider our own calling in our lives. I especially like the second verse which tells of the lack of possessions, “no power, no wealth,” which reminds us that Christ has no need for these things - He only wants us to follow His teachings in serving each other in love.
This January, please consider lending a hand to help the many different programs Saint Joseph Parish has to offer. There have been requests in recent bulletins about joining the many ministries and committees. Much help is needed to form an “Event Committee.” If you have any experience at all planning parties, please consider calling the rectory to sign up for this committee. If you enjoy taking pictures, a “photographer in the field” is desperately needed to take pictures of the different parish events. (Note to college students: this would look good on a résumé!
However you get involved, just remember that Christ wants you to cast your nets! Who knows? Your “catch” might be a blessing to your life!
