St. Andrew

Daily Reflection

St. Andrew

Jesus invites us.

From today’s Scripture: “He said to them, ‘Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.’”—(Mt. 4:19)

Peter, Andrew, James, and John, upon hearing Jesus’ invitation, immediately leave their nets, families, and comfort zones to follow after him.

How hastily we respond to the promise of quick weight loss with various diet fads or to wrinkle-free skin with new facial products, knowing that within weeks we will be searching for the next best thing that will make us new. Jesus’ invitation to follow him comes with a promise we can trust: I will make you into something better. We know Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Why do we hesitate?

Let us pray: Lord, give me the courage to follow you without hesitation, wherever you need me to go and to do whatever you need me to do.
