Know about the Story of Saint Andrew, Brother of Peter November 30 Feast Day

 

🕊 SAINT OF THE DAY 🕊


🙏🏻 SAINT ANDREW 🙏🏻

(Feast Day: Nov. 30)

Pray for us!


Saint Andrew’s Story

Andrew was Saint Peter’s brother, and was called with him. “As [Jesus] was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is now called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, ‘Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ At once they left their nets and followed him” (Matthew 4:18-20).

John the Evangelist presents Andrew as a disciple of John the Baptist. When Jesus walked by one day, John said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.” Andrew and another disciple followed Jesus. “Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’ They said to him, ‘Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are you staying?’ He said to them, ‘Come, and you will see.’ So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day” (John 1:38-39a).

Little else is said about Andrew in the Gospels. Before the multiplication of the loaves, it was Andrew who spoke up about the boy who had the barley loaves and fishes. When the Gentiles went to see Jesus, they came to Philip, but Philip then had recourse to Andrew.

Legend has it that Andrew preached the Good News in what is now modern Greece and Turkey and was crucified at Patras on an X-shaped cross.


Reflection

As in the case of all the apostles except Peter and John, the Gospels give us little about the holiness of Andrew. He was an apostle. That is enough. He was called personally by Jesus to proclaim the Good News, to heal with Jesus’ power and to share his life and death. Holiness today is no different. It is a gift that includes a call to be concerned about the Kingdom, an outgoing attitude that wants nothing more than to share the riches of Christ with all people.

Say this powerful prayer of Mother Teresa to help you find the best way to change your life miraculously

 


This was the favorite prayer of St Mother Theresa 


Dear Jesus, help me to spread Your fragrance wherever I go.

 Flood my soul with Your spirit and life.

 Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly, that my life may only be a radiance of Yours.

 Shine through me, and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul.

 Let them look up and see no longer me, but only Jesus!

 Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as You shine, so to shine as to be a light to others.

 The light, O Jesus, will be all from You; none of it will be mine.

 It will be you, shining on others through me.

 Let me thus praise You the way You love best, by shining on those around me.

 Let me preach You without preaching, not by words but by my example, by the catching force of the sympathetic influence of what I do,

 the evident fullness of the love my heart bears to You.

 Amen.

Saint Francis of Asisi Prayer


 Lord, make me an instrument of your peace- Saint  Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred,

let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light.

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.”

The first appearance of the Peace Prayer occurred in France in 1912 in a small spiritual magazine called La Clochette (The Little Bell). It was published in Paris by a Catholic association known as La Ligue de la Sainte-Messe (The Holy Mass League), founded in 1901 by a French priest, Father Esther Bouquerel (1855-1923). The prayer bore the title of ‘Belle prière à faire pendant la messe’ (A Beautiful Prayer to Say During the Mass), and was published anonymously. The author could possibly have been Father Bouquerel himself, but the identity of the author remains a mystery.

The prayer was sent in French to Pope Benedict XV in 1915. This was soon followed by its 1916 appearance, in Italian, in L’Osservatore Romano [the Vatican’s daily newspaper]. Around 1920, the prayer was printed by a French Franciscan priest on the back of an image of St. Francis with the title ‘Prière pour la paix’ (Prayer for Peace) but without being attributed to the saint. During World War II and immediately after, this prayer for peace began circulating widely as the Prayer of St. Francis.
