November 30, 2021 Tuesday of the 1st Week of Advent-C ST. ANDREW, APOSTLE
Romans 10:9-18
Psalm 19
Matthew 4:18-22
Their voice has gone forth to all the earth… Rom. 10:18
He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father…Mt. 4:22
Lord, what did you see in Andrew and the others that day on the docks that said “these men have the potential to go forth and change the world?” What about them was different from all the other fishermen? You chose well because after they encountered you they took the bold step of leaving behind everything to follow you. They took a huge risk because they had no idea what was ahead for them. As they walked with you they learned the meaning of discipleship. They saw you heal, forgive, teach and pray. And they saw you suffer and die. They became the foundation of your church. They did not let you down. Lord, what do you call me to today? How can I be your disciple in my world? I pray for the grace to accept your will whatever it may be. I have confidence that you will not lay any task on me that you will not give me the means to accomplish. My work for you may not be as huge as you gave Andrew but it is what you ask and that’s all that matters. St. Andrew, pray for me in my work for Jesus. Amen.
