Homily for the Feast of Saint Andrew,
Apostle (30th November, 2015)
(Monday of the First week of Advent (II))
on the Gospel and the Feast
Rom 10:9-18;
Ps 19:2-3,4-5 (R. v.5)Matt 4:18-22.
Topic: Follow me.
We see in today’s gospel the call of Saint Andrew whose feast
we celebrate today. He and his brother immediately left their source of
livelihood and followed Jesus without any form of resistance or assurance of a
better pay, cf. Matt 4:20. James and
John, sons of Zebedee also left even their father and followed Jesus, cf. Matt 4:22.
My dear, remember that Jesus who called Saint Andrew also
called us and is still calling us today. Although we all must not leave our
sources of livelihood as Saint Andrew did but must live lives as those who have
been called out of the world, cf. Jn
17:14-16.
Bring as much people as possible to Christ through your words
and your actions.
Bible Reading: Gal 3:19-4:7; Jn 17:10-21.
Thought for today: You have been called by Jesus Christ.
Let us pray: Lord, we humbly ask you to help us
bring people to you through our words and actions today and forever – Amen!
Saint Andrew the Apostle – Pray for us.
