Teaching from the boat is symbolically appropriate. When fish are caught, they move from darkness beneath the sea into light. So those who hear Jesus’ teaching will be pulled from darkness into light. In particular, Jesus will reach into the interior darkness and release a fullness beyond what they had previously known.
The Gospel Through a Franciscan Lens – 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Fr. Christopher
