November 30 - Monday of the First Week of Advent

Today is not only the first Monday of Advent, it is also the Feast of St. Andrew the Apostle.

Beautiful Feet


As a person without a car for the last two years, the line “How beautiful are the feet that bring the good news!” took aim, fired, blew up my mopey pity party and set me on a new mission.  Driving might give you time to think, but walking everywhere and riding public transportation provides more opportunity for interaction with people outside our circles.  When you are out on the street, it becomes apparent that our culture has become ruder and cruder and is in desperate need of hearing the Good News.  Instead of shrinking from those who disturb my peace or offend with their vulgar speech, should I be trying to find a way to reach out to them in a Christian way that might help change their hearts and launch them on their own path to Christ?  We are all called to introduce the Lord to those who do not know Him, yet I am often afraid.  But Andrew did it.  So can I.  So can you.

Imagine how far Andrew and the other apostles were sent outside of their comfort zones to bring Jesus to the world.  To what new and needy place can your beautiful feet take you?
