West Derwentside Catholic Partnership

If you were trying to set up an international organisation aiming to change the world would you have picked the apostles as your executive directors? None of them had any relevant experience that we know of, they had not been to college or university, they weren’t clever or especially skilled, they weren’t even good fishermen some days. Yet these are the people Jesus chose to build his kingdom, not because they were learned and clever or holy but because they were willing to trust Him, even when what He was saying and advising didn’t make much sense to them. They were willing to become like little children who do what their parents say because deep down they know Mammy and Daddy know best.
