GOSPEL: Mark 1:14-20 Today's gospel reading recounts how Jesus calls his first disciples Simon and Andrew, James and John. His herald, John the Baptist, has been put in prison. Jesus urgently calls people to repent and believe in the good news. Like the Ninevites in the first reading, the four fishermen immediately respond to God's call. They leave their boats and their nets in order to follow Jesus right on the spot. "I will make you fishers of men," Jesus promises his new disciples. They take his words to heart and make following him their first priority in life.

1.) What does Jesus call his first disciples and us to do?

2.) What do you think Jesus means by the term "fishers of men"?

3.) Who or what can help us to put following Jesus first in our lives?

EVANGELIO: maRCOS 1:14-20 El evangelio de hoy cuenta como Jesús llamó a sus primeros discípulos Simón y Andrés, Santiago y Juan. El heraldo, Juan el Bautista, había sido aprisionado. Jesús llama a la gente al arrepentimiento y a creer en la buena nueva. Igual que los ninivitas en la primera lectura, los cuatro pescadores inmediatamente responden a la llamada de Dios. Dejan sus botes y sus redes para seguir a Jesús. "Yo los haré pescadores de hombres", promete Jesús a sus nuevos discípulos. Ellos le toman la palabra y hacen del seguirlo su prioridad en la vida.

1.) ¿Qué le pide Jesús a sus primeros discípulos?

2.)¿Hay cosas que nos impiden escuchar la urgente llamada de Jesús?

3.)¿Qué crees que Jesús quiere decir con "pescadores de hombres"?
