For 30 November 2024, The Feast of St. Andrew, Apostle, based on Matthew 4:18-22
As Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake—for they were fishermen. And he said to them, ‘Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.’ Immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.

A beautifully constructed reflection on the true source of our stability, safety and belonging. The shift required of us for our transformation is surely a challenge. Thank you, Angela, for helping us respond authentically to that challenge.
