He is an example of the progression of the Christian life from encountering Jesus to sharing Jesus with others. How much a role does evangelization play in your life? 2) The first person it’s recorded Andrew told about Jesus was his brother. Is your first instinct to do the same, and if not – why not? 3) The account of how Andrew and Peter encounter Jesus differs in John than in other Gospels.

The Church professes this mystery in the Apostles’ Creed (Part One), and celebrates it in the sacramental liturgy (Part Two), so that the life of the faithful may be conformed to Christ in the Holy spirit to the glory of God the Father (Part Three). This mystery, then requires that the faithful believe in it, that they celebrate it, and that they live from it in a vital and personal relationship with the living and true God. This relationship is prayer” – CCC #2558 Resonant Reflections Challenge: 1) Who are you lifting your soul to these days? 2) Who are your enemies right now? 3) Where in your life or walk with God have you experienced apparent disappointments and how candid are you willing to be in conversation with God about those?
