Reflections with Fr. Michael Kelly - Tuesday 30 Nov, 2021

This invitation to the two sets of brothers comes very early in Matthew’s Gospel and even before he starts to preach his message. And the four Apostles in these stories have a basic role in grounding and founding the first Christian communities. Today’s feast of St. Andrew celebrates the Apostle seen as the fountainhead of the Church of “the East” which we would now see as he Greek Church. But whatever Church we want to celebrate, they all go back to the founding message of Jesus as given to the earliest communities and still venerated today.
