Share the Thought by Msgr. Andro

The idiomatic expression "the whole nine yards" means "everything." Simon Peter could have told Jesus, "We have left the whole nine yards to follow you." Was he exaggerating? He was a fisherman and he did not have much to leave. But for a fisherman, leaving a boat is "the whole nine yards." Peter left everything that he had and entrusted himself to Jesus. A trusting faith which we shouid have. Relying on Jesus and on Jesus alone, we will abandon the whole nine yards.
