Saint Andrew, apostle - Feast

Letter to the Romans

10,9-18.

Brothers and sisters: If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved.
For the scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame."
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all, enriching all who call upon him.
For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
But how can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?
And how can people preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring (the) good news!"
But not everyone has heeded the good news; for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what was heard from us?"
Thus faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ.
But I ask, did they not hear? Certainly they did; for "Their voice has gone forth to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."

Psalms

19(18),2-3.4-5.

The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
Day pours out the word to day,
and night to night imparts knowledge.
Not a word nor a discourse
whose voice is not heard;
Through all the earth their voice resounds,
and to the ends of the world, their message.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

4,18-22.

As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen.
He said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men."
At once they left their nets and followed him.
He walked along from there and saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat, with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them,
and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him.

St. Andrew(Apostle)

SAINT ANDREWApostle(1st century) St. Andrew was one of the fishermen called by Jesus at Bethsaida; and perhaps St. Peter's older brother. He was also a disciple of St. John the Baptist. One of St. Andrew's traits was bringing others to notice. When he was called by Christ on the banks of the Jordan, his first act was to search for his brother. "We have found the Messiah," he told St. Peter. It was also St. Andrew who pointed out the boy with five loaves and fishes before Christ fed five thousand in the desert. St. Andrew went to plant the faith in Scythia and Greece, where he gained a martyr's crown. He suffered a cruel scourging at Patræ in Achaia before being crucified.For two days, he preached and glorified God before dying on the cross. St. Andrew's heroism connects the Church across time. His sacrifice sowed the seeds of Western civilization. He is our intercessor and a mirror of God.
