After the Miraculous Catch of Fish, and in the presence of the divine, Simon (Peter) feels his own sinfulness and begs Jesus to ‘depart’ from him (Lk 5: 1-11).
But Jesus not only doesn’t depart, he asks Peter to follow him. And later, after Peter denies knowing him during the Passion, Jesus again asks Peter to follow him.
Our discipleship depends not on how worthy or unworthy we are, but on how loving and compassionate God is.
