SAINT ANDREW








SAINT ANDREW




Before Jesus
There was John
Andrew was a disciple of John


One day
Jesus was walking
Beside the Sea of Galilee
He saw two brothers
Who were fishermen
And he said to them,


“Come follow me
And I will make you fishers of men”


They immediately
Laid down their polls
And decided
To follow this mysterious man


Later on
Andrew was the one
Who found the little boy
With the two fish
And the five barley loaves


And immediately
A miracle was done


After Jesus’ Resurrection
We don’t know where
But we know
He preached God’s word
Wherever he could


Today
There are many churches
Named in his honor
And he is
The patron Saint of Scotland and Russia


Tradition states
If you say a certain prayer
Between today and Christmas ( 15 times )
A miracle may be possible


Today, November 30th, is his feast day


I was baptized
At Saint Andrew’s Catholic Church
In Pittsburgh, Pa.
February 6th, 1955---my mom and Dad’s first anniversary
