- Readings: , Galatians, 3: 15-22
-
- Gospel: Luke, 1: 26-38 (English & Lebanese):
- The call in Mary's life radiated light on the past and the
future. God's call accompanies us and we hear it day after day
until the final hour where he says to us: "Come to me all
those blessed by my Father." Did we hear God's call direct
us at the beginning of our life? No doubt about it. Even if we
are sometimes overtaken by distress, anxiety, and laziness, we
always go back to this voice telling us: "Before you were
conceived in your mother's womb, I chose you." God chose
Mary for the mission of missions. He chooses each and every one
of us.
-
- Hopefully our answer won't be spontaneous, on the contrary,
we should strengthen it in our daily life with sacrifice, love
and service.

- St. Andrew (First Century) Apostle
November 30
St. Andrew came from Bethsaida, a town in Galilee on the Lake
of Genesareth. He became a disciple of St. John the Baptist,
who sent him to see Jesus. After visiting the Lord, Andrew called
his brother, Simon Peter, to come and meet the Messiah. Later,
as Jesus was walking along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Peter and
Andrew casting their into the sea. Jesus said, "Follow me
and I will make your fishers of men." Andrew accompanied
Jesus throughout his public ministry, and his name appears in
the story of the feeding of five thousand in the desert. After
the death of Christ, he labored as a missionary in Scythia, Greece,
and Turkey and established the Church at Constantinople. He was
crucified on an X-Shaped cross at Patras, Acaia. St. Andrew is
the patron saint of Russia and Scotland.
I bow before the Cross made precious by Christ, my Mater. I embrace
it as his disciple.
