Teach me your paths...
Jonah speaks to the people of Ninevah. What do they hear? How do they understand Jonah's message? What causes them to put on
sackcloth? What makes them repent and
turn back to God?
Jesus similarly calls the disciples: Come
after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
What do they hear? How do they
understand Jesus’ message? What causes
them to follow him?
When God speaks to us, what do we
hear? How do we understand God’s message?
Two
images offer food for thought:
Jakob Steinhardt, “Jonah Preaches in
Nineveh,” 1923.
Hand-colored woodcut,
Israel Museum.
“I Shall Make You Fishers of Men,”
detail,
St. Peter’s Church, Kilmore Quay, County Wexford, Ireland.
