FEAST OF ST ANDREW THE APOSTLE
November 30th
Andrew was a fisherman. But he was searching for something more important than life on the sea could give him. Like many faithful Jews of his time, Andrew was waiting for God to send the Savior he had promised.
Andrew first learned about Jesus from the preaching of John the Baptist. John told the people,
“One mightier than I is coming after me. I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals.
I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit” (Mark 1:7-8). One day, Andrew and his friend heard John the Baptist say, “Behold, the Lamb of God” (John 1:36) as a stranger walked by.
The stranger was Jesus! The two men immediately began to follow Jesus, who invited them to join him.
Andrew could not keep this good news to himself.
He ran to get his brother Simon and brought him to Jesus. These three men became Jesus’ first disciples.
Nothing made Andrew happier than bringing people to meet and believe in Jesus. In John’s Gospel, we learn that it was Andrew who found a boy with five loaves of bread and two fish and brought him to the Lord, and Jesus was able to feed a crowd of more than 5,000 people.
After Pentecost, the Holy Spirit helped Andrew continue to bring people to Christ. His stories about Jesus convinced many people to be baptized. Andrew was a true missionary for Christ, preaching in Greece and Russia. Like our Lord, Andrew was crucified, but his cross was in the shape of an “X.”
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.
Saint Andrew is the Patron Saint of:
Fishermen, Greece, Russia and Scotland
