Product Description
God never ceases to keep us guessing! Just when we thought we had the world (and God) figured out, we find ourselves unexpectedly called to go where we never would have imagined possible. The “God of Surprises” can call even the most unlikely of us to do great things! A poor, uneducated fisherman – a “sinful man” at that – called to become a fisher of persons, the “Rock” upon which Christ will build His Church, the first pope? This bronze plaque honors the power and meaning of vocation. It will be a great gift for all those young (and maybe not so young) women and men called to “make a difference” in profound ways.
A Solid Bronze Plaque for Seminarians and Nuns
Measuring 10.8 inches high and 9.5 inches wide, this solid bronze plaque has a notch on the back to allow for easy hanging on the wall at home, school, or office. This solid bronze plaque – conceived and cast by a world-renowned master gold-smith – is a wonderful gift for a son, brother, nephew or grandson becoming a priest or minister, or for a daughter, sister, niece or granddaughter becoming a nun.
The Essence of Vocation Cast in Bronze
This plaque depicts Jesus telling the disciples to put their ship out into deep water and to cast their nets. When Peter sees the “rich” (in fact, miraculously superabundant) catch, he falls to his knees and pleads with Jesus to leave him, for he knows he is “a sinful man.” It is precisely here in Peter’s actions that we see the essence of vocation: In humbly acknowledging who and what we are, we make it possible for the Lord to call us, to encourage us, to be and accomplish more than we could ever have imagined or thought possible. This plaque is the essence of vocation cast in bronze.
Luke 5:1-11
One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”
Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”
When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners.
Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.
