"O glorious St. Andrew, you were the first to recognize and follow the Lamb of God.
With your friend, St. John, you remained with Jesus for
that first day,
for your entire life,
and now throughout eternity.
As you led your brother, St. Peter, to Christ and many others
after him,
draw us also to Him.
Teach us to lead others to Christ
solely out of love for Him
and dedication in His service.
Help
us to learn the lesson of the Cross
and to carry our daily crosses
without complaint
so that they may carry us to Jesus."
Amen.
