Orthodox Quote for October 20
“If these people have left their boats and nets forever, why the miracle of a grandiose catch? From the point of view of the world, there’s something preposterous in the fact that after the greatest earthly success, they leave everything without even taking advantage of it. But for us, there is deep meaning in this. Such a catch as they had that day could show everyone how little satisfaction there is in completely material success. No mountains of bread can satisfy the hunger of human souls; no rivers of milk can quench the thirst of our hearts. ”
(Archpriest Alexander Shargunov in orthochristian.com on the first miraculous catch of fish)
