Sts Simon and Jude, Apostles
“He picked out twelve of them.”
Luke 6:12-16
Jesus chose twelve out of His many followers to be His apostles.
I wonder when our own time comes, you and I, will we be among the chosen ones in Christ’s inner circle?
Sometimes we may think of all the wrong things we have done in the past, and not believe that we are worthy, or that we may be called to be holy.
But remember that among these chosen ones, was Peter who denied Him, all but John, who deserted Him, Thomas who doubted Him and Judas, who betrayed Him.
Who am I in this team? Who are you?
I pray that we all eventually find our way into that Upper Room of our faith, praying; hoping we experience the anointing of the Holy Spirit on us as on that first Pentecost day. Pulling us in even closer to the heart of our Lord and empowering us to accomplish the Great Commission; to spread His gospel with grace and humility.
Choose me O Lord and make me brave.
