Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

5,1-11.

]While the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God, he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.
]He saw two boats there alongside the lake; the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets.
]Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
]After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch."
]Simon said in reply, "Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets."
]When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing.
]They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come to help them. They came and filled both boats so that they were in danger of sinking.
]When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, "Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man."
]For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him,
]and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men."
]When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him.

St. Cloud(Priest (522-c.560))

SAINT CLOUDPriest(522- c. 560) St. Cloud is the first saint among the French royal family's princes. He was the son of Chlodomir, the king of Orleans, and the grandson of St. Clotilda. He was scarce three years old when his father was killed in Burgundy. St. Clotilda raised him and his two brothers in Paris. St. Cloud's ambitious uncles divided the kingdom of Orleans among them and killed his brothers. By divine providence, he escaped and was given sanctuary by the bishop of Rheims. His spiritual director was the hermit St. Severinus. He later renounced the world and withdrew to Provence. When his hermitage was discovered, he returned to Paris and received holy orders at the request of Parisians. He was ordained a priest in 551 by Bishop Eusebius of Paris. St. Cloud served villagers near Paris for several years. He built a church in western Paris dedicated to St. Martin of Tours. The sanctuary and the commune where it was built were named after him. He instructed and edified his countrymen until he passed away in 560. He is the patron saint of metal nail-makers and of the diocese of St. Cloud, Minnesota, USA.
