Fr Alexandre Berhouet SCJ

Bétharram, 3 September 2015
Funeral of Father Alexander Berhouet, SCJ.

Luke 5, 1-11. Today the liturgy provides us with “our daily bread”; the where with all to make us grateful and full of hope as were are here with Father Alexander. The heart of the message is a lesson in faith, meaning that we can and must trust the Lord, wherever we are and whatever he asks of us. That’s how he makes fishers of men from the sinners that we are. In the gospel story Simon-Peter had every reason for sending Jesus back to his studies – or rather to his carpenter’s plank – when he asked Peter to pay out the nets further afield, Peter the expert fisherman! But on his word Peter didn’t hesitate for a moment.

The lesson for us is as clear as the waters of the Lake of Genesareth; one can have the feeling of being incompetent, of having reached summits that were dizzying or sunk to depths that were killing, when the Lord sends out a signal impossible to hide! Even though we don’t feel the courage we must still launch out into the deep and trust will work miracles. Believing is to take a step into the unknown. It is then and then only that the Word will affect our lives; real wisdom consists in accepting God to be our guide. To have faith means putting ourselves into his hands so as to live life to the full.
