OF THE CALL OF THE APOSTLES First Point. First: it seems that26 St. Peter and St. Andrew were called three times: first, to some knowledge; this is clear from St. John in the first Chapter: secondly, to follow Christ in some way with the purpose of returning to possess what they had left, as St. Luke says in the fifth Chapter: thirdly, to follow Christ our Lord forever, as St. Matthew says in the fourth Chapter and St. Mark in the first. Second Point. Second: He called Philip, as is in the first Chapter of St. John, and Matthew as Matthew himself says in the ninth Chapter. Third Point. Third: He called the other Apostles, of whose special call the Gospel does not make mention. And three other things also would be to be considered: The first, how the Apostles were of uneducated and low condition; The second, the dignity to which they were so sweetly called; The third, the gifts and graces by which they were raised above all the Fathers of the New and Old Testaments. |
26 It seems that is added in the hand of St. Ignatius. |
