Feast of St Andrew, the Apostle
In this Gospel reading we hear the calling forth of Andrew and his brother Simon, called Peter, by Jesus. They were fishermen along the Sea of Galilee. Jesus promises that they will be "fishers of men." After they are called, Jesus calls James and John.
We are each called to follow Jesus too in the ways that lead to the Heavenly Kingdom. Jesus is our Good Shepherd and we are his flock. By living in his Way, through the gifts of the Holy Spirit, we are to be known as Christians by our love.
We are called not once, but repeatedly to follow in the ways of Christ. Each time we say 'yes' that is a conversion where not only are our thoughts refocused on the Lord, but also our actions and words. Every time we go through a conversion experience, we come that much closer to the Lord. As we continue through Advent, let us take listen closer to the Lord's call, so that our hearts my be turned much more towards that Enduring Light.
