WYD2019 - #Panama in Dublin!

This week John chats with Gerard Hanley who works in Youth and Young Adult Ministry at the Emmaus Centre in Dublin about a 24 hour event organised to coincide with WYD 2019 in Panama. Attended by 140 young pilgrims who slept on the floors on sleeping bags, the event included streaming of the Pope’s talks in Panama, music with Elation Ministries, Talk/Catechesis from Sr Kelly Francis CFR, Fr Patrick Cahill and Anna Keegan. Small groups discussed the talks and catechesis from Panama as well as participating in an interactive Stations of the Cross.

Gospel - Luke 5:1-11

Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.” When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!” For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken; and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.” When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.
