Saint Andrew, Apostle – Feast
First reading – Romans 10:9-18
Today we are celebrating the feast of St. Andrew, one of the Apostles of Jesus Christ. On the feast day, the Church is giving us to meditate on the difference between confessing with lips that Jesus is Lord and believing in heart that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Believing in heart makes one righteous according to the Word of God. From the preaching we hear the Good News and then we believe in Christ. From believing we move to confessing with lips. And then there is a step further, believing in heart that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. That we feel the same sentiments in our heart about the resurrection. In moments of darkness and difficulties, we must believe in our heart that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. The same light is to lighten up my heart and make me righteous. Let’s reflect: Can I move from confessing with lips to believing in heart that Jesus is Risen from the dead?
