The Lord is the King of apostles: come, let us adore him.
St Andrew the Apostle
He was born in Bethsaida, in Galilee, and worked as a fisherman. He may have been a disciple of St John the Baptist. He became one of the first to follow Jesus and introduced his brother, Simon Peter, to him. As one of the twelve Apostles he was widely venerated in ancient times, and became patron saint of Scotland because according to legend some of his bones were brought there and buried at the place where the town of St Andrew’s now stands.
CHAPTER ONE
DARK CLOUDS OVER A CLOSED WORLD
FORMS OF SUBJECTION AND OF SELF-CONTEMPT
53. On today’s 🚵♀️ pilgrimage the question for contemplation is, “Why do I give into ‘the slumber of indifference‘ and forget that ‘there is no worse form of alienation than to feel uprooted, belonging to no one'”???
On today’s bicycle pilgrimage, I pray to hear the wisdom to the simple that “only to the extent that” I “can foster a sense of belonging among” others, “create bonds of integration between generations and different communities, and avoid all that makes” me “insensitive to others and leads to further alienation”,[50] will I come after the LORD, who will make me, as He did St. Andrew, a fisher of men, and then the “…land will be fruitful, and its people bear fruit and give birth to the future, !!!
What has happened in the Cathedral is unconscionable.
