Word for the Week
Fishers of Men

Brothers, we shall hymn with praise the tongues of the disciples
Because, not with elegant speech,
But in divine power they have revived all men.
Because they took up His Cross as a reed,
So that they might again use words as fishing lines
and fish for the world
Since they had speech as a sharp fishhook,
Since the flesh of the Master of all
Has become for them a bait,
it has not sought to kill
But it attracts to life those
who worship and praise
The All-Holy Spirit.
— Romanos the Melodist (490–556)
