In the Christian community, we elaborate ambitious pastoral programs; in the family, we implement the most up-to-date psychological techniques to educate our children better, commit ourselves, make plans, and yet—as we know—even the most praiseworthy efforts are not always crowned with success. It happens to us something like what happened to seven disciples who, after Easter, went fishing: they were prepared, experienced, willing people, they worked for a whole night, but they didn't get anything. So much effort was wasted: they acted in the dark, without the light of the word of the Risen Lord.
