Ordinary Time, 7th Sunday (C) Apparently I have never recorded a homily on this particular set or readings. If I had preached, I would have talked about how we tend to make ourselves the standard.

Ordinary 5 - Have you worked hard all night and caught nothing? Stop washing your nets and spend a little time in silence. Maybe God is calling you to put out a little from shore, to cast into the deep, or to stay put just where you are.
