Ordinary Time, 5th Sunday (C) Peter looks good on the surface; he has a good life and a successful career and he's not interested in what Jesus is offering. But underneath, Peter is not so good. He feels like he is failing at fishing and failing at life. Even deeper down, though, Peter is Very Good. He is loved by God and he hasn't ruined God's plans for his life.
Jesus invites Peter to "put out into the deep." He is not only calling him to go fishing, but also inviting Peter to move below the surface, through the layer of "not good", into that place of "Very Good".
Many couples look like they are good. But underneath, things are not so good. For national marriage week, consider ways that you can move together through the layer of "not so good" into the deeper place that is Very Good.

Going Deeper: How is Jesus inviting you personally to "put out into the deep?" What would it look like to go deeper into your own heart with Jesus? What would it look like to go deeper into your marriage or other relationships?
