1st Week of Advent

Walking along the Sea of Galilee, Jesus invited Peter, Andrew, James, and John to become Apostles. They left their boats then, but Scripture tells of future fishing trips. People can do the will of God anywhere, among anyone they meet, and anytime in prayer. After all, Jesus’ ministry combined teaching, having heart-to-heart talks, healing, and praying to the Father. After giving the Twelve authority to proclaim the Kingdom of heaven and to cure sickness in body or spirit, Jesus sent them forth. The Lord provided a solid foundation and wants His followers to build upon it. When we don’t know quite what to do, the Holy Spirit offers insightfulness in accordance with our faith. What keeps us from believing that the good we do can multiply as surely as seven loaves and a few fish blessed by the Lord fed a vast crowd?
