St. Andrew, Apostle

Read

In John 1:40-42, we hear how St. Andrew, one of the first of the twelve apostles, brought his brother to join him in following Jesus. You can follow St. Andrew’s example by encouraging vocations to religious life and the priesthood.  For ideas and inspiration, visit the For Your Vocation Website.

Pray

Pray for vocations.  Choose a prayer from among those gathered by the USCCB Secretariat of Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations.

Reflect

View one of the inspiring videos from the For Your Vocation Website and reflect on how you can encourage others to consider a vocation to the priesthood or consecrated life through prayer and activities.

Act

Make your Christmas gift list.  Consider “fair trade” gifts that honor the dignity of those who create them and help people in developing nations.
