St. Andrew, Apostle, Tuesday, 30-11-2021

Romans 10:9-18 / Matthew 4:18-22    

We have heard of the term "sibling rivalry". 

It is not just a concept but a reality that can exist between siblings.

But on the other hand, there is also sibling unity, and it is heart-warming when siblings look out and care for one another.

According to Christian tradition, Andrew is the older brother of Peter.

But Peter is the more prominent sibling and also more vocal and impulsive.

Andrew may seem to the quieter one, and maybe more pensive and thoughtful.

And it was he who brought Peter to Jesus, and that was how Peter got his calling.

St. Andrew gave us an example of not just being a caring sibling and a thoughtful person.

He also gave us an example of being a missionary of Christ and bringing people to know Christ.

May we follow his example of being a caring brother or sister to others and to let them know who Jesus is by our actions.
