A NOTE FROM CELESTE LETCHWORTH:
As most of you know, Tom went to be with the Lord in June 2018.
Since the lectionary cycles every 3 years, I am able to copy Tom’s SOAR studies from the archives and post them each week with our current year’s dates.
Tom started this blog in 2014 and he never wrote a Gospel reading SOAR study for Luke 5:1-1, which is the lectionary selection for the Fifth Sunday after Epiphany, Year C.
In 2016, the Fifth Sunday after Epiphany was also Transfiguration Sunday, so the lectionary selections for Transfiguration Sunday that year trumped the selections for the Fifth Sunday after Epiphany, Year C.
You may want to refer to the following SOARs that I found in the archives:
Click here for The Gospel for April 10, 2016, which is from John 21:1-19. The account of Jesus telling the fishermen how to fish is similar to the account in Luke 5, although it is interesting that the net does not break in John 21. Perhaps because this occurred after the Resurrection? I don’t know. Just the reflections of a layman.
Click here for The Gospel for January 21, 2018, which is from Mark 1:14-20. Tom writes about the call to be a fisher of people.
Click here for The Gospel for January 22, 2017, which is from Matthew 4:12-23. This is also about fishing for people.
