3 OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE November 26, 2017 St. Andrew, Apostle St. Andrew, also known as Andrew the Apostle, was a Christian Apostle and the older brother to St. Peter. According to the New Testament, Andrew was born in the village of Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee during the early first century. Much like his younger brother, Simon Peter, Andrew was also a fisherman. Andrew's very name means strong and he was known for having good social skills. In the Gospel of Matthew, it is said Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee and saw Andrew and Simon Peter fishing. It is then he asked the two to become disciples and "fishers of men." In the Gospel of Luke, Andrew is not initially named. It describes Jesus using a boat, believed to be solely Simon's, to preach to the multitudes and catch a large amount of fish on a night that originally was dry. Later, in Luke 5:7, it mentions Simon was not the only fisherman on the boat, but it is not until Luke 6:14 that there is talk of Andrew being Simon Peter's brother. However, the Gospel of John tells a separate story, stating Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist. When Jesus walked by one day, John the Baptist stated, "Behold, the Lamb of God!" It is then that Andrew and another made the decision to follow Jesus. Per Christian tradition, Andrew went on to preach the Good News around the shores of the Black Sea and throughout what is now Greece and Turkey. Andrew was martyred by crucifixion in Patras. He was bound, rather than nailed, to a cross, as is described in the Acts of Andrew. He was crucified on a cross form known as "crux decussata," which is an X- shaped cross or a "saltire." Today this is commonly referred to as "St. Andrew's Cross." It is believed Andrew requested to be crucified this way, because he deemed himself "unworthy to be crucified on the same type of cross as Jesus." St. Andrew is the patron saint of fishermen and singers. He is also the patron saint to several countries and cities including: Scotland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine and Patras and his feast day is celebrated on November 30. Respect Life 28 th Annual National Night of Prayer for Life and America Friday, December 8 th in the Main Church Following the 7 PM Mass until 9 PM Please join us in prayer for an hour For an end to abortion and Pray for religious liberty Reflection For Peace in the World St. Edith, you knew firsthand the horrific sufferings that war brings. Your life, so full of promise and potential, was tragically snuffed out early by evil men, caught up in the spiral of hatred and pride that the war enkindled. Pray for us and for those who will come after us, that the people and the leaders of our world may grow in wisdom, humility, and courage. May the evil that produced the Holocaust in your day and a sad list of horrors in our own time be suffocated by love.
