APOSTLES

Jesus gathered an interesting bunch. Some were opinionated, some timid, some quite brash and impulsive, each one with his own quirkiness. Most were family men, with dreams of making it big, or maybe just to get by their daily needs and concerns. None of them was perfect, nor suited perfectly, for a job that itself has never stopped unraveling long after the recruitment. All of them had his share of flaws and temperament, and a baggage of favorite and recurrent sins. These were the men Our Lord called "apostles."

...Indeed there is hope for each of us!

( cf. Luke 6:12-19 )
