John 1:40-42 – Messiah


Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter was one of the two who had heard what John said and followed him. He found his own brother , Simon, first of all, and said to him ‘I have found the Messiah’ (which is translated as ‘ Christ’)*. He brought him to Jesus. Seeing him Jesus said: ‘You are Simon son of John, you shall be called Kephas.'(which is translated ‘Peter.’)†

Teach us, good Lord,
to serve thee as thou deservest;
to give and not to count the cost;
to fight and not to heed the wounds;
to toil and not to seek for rest;
to labour and not to ask for any reward,
save that of knowing that we do thy will,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

St Ignatius
