St Andrew’s Feast Day – 30th November

Our Parish Prayer to St Andrew, the Apostle

O Glorious Saint Andrew,

You were the first to recognize and follow the ‘Lamb of God’.

With your friend St John, (John the Baptist), You remained with Jesus for that first day, for your entire life, and now throughout eternity.

As you led your brother Saint Peter to Christ and many others after him, draw us also to Christ too.

Teach us to lead others to Jesus, solely out of love for HIM and dedication in HIS service.

Help us to learn the lesson of the Cross and to carry our daily crosses without complaint, so that they may carry us to JESUS.

Amen
