Luke 6:12–16
Now during those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray; and he spent the night in prayer to God. And when day came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles: Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was called the Zealot, and Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Reflection
• Before choosing the twelve apostles, Jesus spent the whole night in conversation with his father. Do I ever consult God about the decisions I have to make?
• Do I dare to include mine among the names of the disciples listed?
