The Rev. Anne Williamson offers a gospel reflection on the Feast Day of St. Andrew, patron Saint of Scotland and the brother of Simon Peter. Although today’s Gospel reading speaks of Jesus’ call to the two brothers at the same time, in the Gospel of John, Andrew is depicted as one of the first disciples of Jesus, who brought others to Jesus – beginning with his brother Simon Peter (Jn 1:36-42).
My father held up a bill, any denomination, and noted that this is only a piece of paper. It has almost no value in itself, and takes on value only when it is used for something. He would point to the beautiful half-moon fireplace in the corner of the living room with its andirons and grate filled with logs. You can use this piece of paper all for your own use, or you can light a fire to warm yourself and others. The choice is yours.
Today, the time to reflect and reset is a gift that St. John’s continues to give me. And, like many of you, I have had the good fortune of raising a family at St. John’s, and they, too, can experience this gift of peace and renewal. I will be forever grateful for the spiritual guidance St. John’s has provided for my family.
