Though he is less frequently mentioned in the Gospels, St. Andrew’s faith — as the first disciple — testifies to that enduring truth: We must share the good news and entrust everything to Jesus Christ, even in the face of opposition and mounting odds. That is what he recognized in his first encounter and what he took with him to death. In the centuries since, this witness has led others to Christ and, therefore, the sainthood of many.
In our own age, the faithful must do likewise. The “Peters” in our lives are waiting for us to act.
