Feast of St Andrew

But they will not ask his help unless they believe in him, and they will not believe in him unless they have heard of him, and they will not hear of him unless they get a preacher, and they will never have a preacher unless one is sent.

Today we celebrate the feast day of St Andrew one of the 12 disciples. I don’t know much about him except that he was a fisherman and brother of St Peter who was called The Rock.

Have you ever lived in the shadows of anyone? It is actually a great place to be because you can go about your work without drawing all the attention. Sometimes however, being in the shadows is not so easy. We might feel lost, unimportant, ignored. I love that the church recognizes this quiet soul and in doing do invites all of us to live out our truth. We have to claim our spot no matter how small or insignificant we might think it is. The truth is, we all have a part to play in the building of the Kingdom.

May you find your space and live proudly in it. You matter!!!
