So many people in this world live lives without hope, they are depressed, stressed and even with family and friends, they are lonely. Others who have sickness befall them, are afraid of dying. Then there are others angry with everything and everyone. All these people have one thing in common, they do not know You Lord. They have not encountered the living and loving God.

Like St Andrew, I am responding to Your call to follow You. Let me bring the life giving knowledge of You to all. Let Your peace and love flow through me so that by bringing them Your Word; their lives will be filled with Your joy and peace. In Your most precious name Jesus. I pray. Amen

FIRST READING
Romans 10:9–18

GOSPEL
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.
