“I will make you fishers of people.” —Matthew 4.19
Not mere recruiters we are,
but connectors, includers,
netted in the same love,
caught up in the one mystery,
with those hidden in murk
brought out into warmth,
something that was flashing in the deep
drawn up into light, dawn-scaled,
all of us fished up
out of some unseeable bottoms,
whole shoals of us gathered
and gathering, schooling our togetherness,
gladly in the haul of God.
What once we did (call it fishing)
for ourselves, or our desires,
we now do for people, for others,
for all of us,
for the One into whom
we are continually fished.
