Pter Catches Multitude of Fish:
        Pter Catches Multitude of Fish:
        After the Lord finished teaching, He asked

        Peter to enter to the deep water and cast
        his nets for a catch. It was already morning

        time and usually people catch fish during
        the night. No one, before, caught any fish

        in the morning! Besides, the fish are usual-
        ly by the sea shore not in the deep water.

        However, Saint Peter obeyed the Master

                                        And they did just what the Lord told them,
                                         and they sailed to the deep. In no time, the
                                          net was full of fish. Saint Peter worshiped
                                           the Lord Jesus Christ and told Him with
                                            humbleness “Depart from me, for I am
                                             a sinful man, O Lord!”. But the Lord Je-
                                              sus answered him back and said: “Do

                                               not be afraid. From now on you will
                                                 catch men.” When they returned to

                                                  the shore, Peter left everything and
                                                   followed the Lord Jesus. And that

                                                    is how the story of Peter with
