Daily Retreat 11/30/06

2006 Nov 30 Thu: Andrew, ap F
Rom 10: 9-18/ Ps 18(19): 8. 9. 10. 11/ Mt 4: 18-22

From today’s readings:  “Thus faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ....  Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life....  As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen....”
