hile the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the
word of God, he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret. He
saw two boats there alongside the lake; the fishermen had disem-
barked and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats,
the one belonging to Simon, he asked him to put out a short dis-
tance from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds
from the boat. After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,
“Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” Simon
said in reply, “Master, we have worked hard all night and have
caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets.” When
they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their
nets were tearing. They signaled to their partners in the other boat
to come to help them. They came and filled both boats so that the
boats were in danger of sinking. When Simon Peter saw this, he MEMORIAL ACCLAMATION Roman Missal

“justify” is not explaining our actions– “let me justify my decision to buy a
new car, despite the high price tag.” Rather, it means to be righteous before
God. The difference between Catholics and Protestants concerns the way
we are made righteous after baptism. Protestant theology holds that God
has imputed the gift of righteousness, regarding a person as if he had
lived Christ’s life of righteousness. Catholics teach rather that God’s right-
eousness changes us, providing interior renewal. We are thoroughly
washed clean, not merely declared pleasing.
Regarding justification, the summary statements of Trent are clear and
