Today is the feast day of St. Andrew. I love this time of year and this feast day. We only know some things about him- that he was the brother of Simon Peter and brought his brother to Jesus, telling him that Jesus is the Messiah. Also, bringing the loaves and fish from the little boy, and Jesus performing the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves.
There's a Christmas Novena dedicated to St. Andrew. I want to pray it this year. I believe it starts today and goes through December 24th. You pray it 15 times a day.
In The Chosen series, I like the character of Andrew. He is humorous and is opposite in personality of his brother. He's also relatable, he gets worried and anxious easily, but also trusts deeply in Jesus.
Today's feast day is also so close to the starting of Advent, not just a new liturgical season but also year. With St. Andrew, one of the first apostles, and bringing Simon Peter to Jesus, what better way to pray to him so he can help us draw nearer to Christ, especially during this upcoming Advent and Christmas season.
Beautiful sis!
