Nov 30 – Homily – Fr Benedict: St. Andrew, The Priesthood, and the Call

Homily #131130 ( 12min) Play - St. Andrew was the first called and the one who brought Peter to Jesus. The priesthood and especially the episcopate are about being fishers of men. As St. Andrew brought Peter to Jesus, others are brought to Jesus through the offices of the episcopate and priesthood. The priest is called to offer sacrifice. To be both the sacrifice and the one who offers the sacrifice of his victim-hood in the service to others.
