Gospel Meditation
By: Deacon Bob Elliott
Dum spiro spero, “While I breathe, I hope.”— Scottish tradition holds this to have been the last words of St. Andrew the Apostle. It is the official motto of a town in Scotland that bears Andrew’s name. The Scots believe these were the words he spoke as he drew his final breath. This week, as I pondered today’s gospel reading, this phrase, “while I breathe, I hope,” continually came to mind. I found myself contemplating the hope proclaimed in his dying moments— and how that same hope appeared absent during the fierce storm that night on the Sea of Galilee. Where did the hope at the end of his life come from?
As Andrew, Peter, and the others tried to cross the water late at night amid a fierce storm, scripture recounts that their boat was "beaten by the waves." The original Greek word translated as "beaten by the waves" actually conveys a meaning more like "harassed" or "tortured," and is the same term the centurion uses when explaining that his servant lies paralyzed at home in "terrible distress." Here, the disciples' condition mirrors that of the centurion’s servant—they, too, are immobilized by fear and disbelief, desperately needing Jesus’s healing. The scene feels strangely unsettling, and I can’t help but wonder if, as Andrew watched Peter sink, hope had faded —perhaps when Peter cried out, it was because he felt utterly hopeless.
Hope seems to be the lost cousin of the Theological virtues (faith, hope, and love). We are all familiar with the more glamorous virtues, faith and love, but hope seems to get lost in the shuffle. But just as Our Lord was molding the Twelve in faith and charity, he was also schooling them in hope.
In Jesus’ school of hope, He teaches us that our hope is anchored in these supernatural realities:
Eternal Life-Desiring the kingdom of heaven and eternal happiness as the ultimate fulfillment of human existence.
Divine Assistance-Relying on the help and power of the Holy Spirit instead of one's own personal or worldly power.
God's Fidelity-Trusting that God is faithful to His word and will provide the grace necessary to attain salvation and persevere through earthly trials.
It is in these realities that St. Andrew could have uttered those final words, “While I breathe, I hope.”
Prayer for a New Bishop
Almighty and ever-living God, in your faithfulness, grant to the Diocese of Colorado Springs a shepherd whose watchful care and kindly zeal will continue the good work of his predecessors.
In your love for us, give us a shepherd who will lead us in being Christ’s heart of mercy, voice of hope, and hands of justice. Let him who is chosen to be our shepherd strive to live more and more each day with holiness of life and heroic virtue so that he will lead your holy people in all truth.
Prepare him, we humbly pray, to fill our minds and hearts with the truth of the Gospel, the power of the sacraments, and the desire to actively work to build up your holy Church.
Loving God, grant our Holy Father Pope Leo wisdom in discernment as he chooses a new bishop for this local Church. By your divine providence, grant us a shepherd after the heart of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, whose benevolent care and zealousness will strengthen the people of God.
We ask this through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Diocese of Colorado Springs, and in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

The Colorado Bishops have issued a statement on immigration titled "Welcoming the Stranger, Protecting the Common Good." Click the logo to read the full statement.
“As Catholic Bishops of Colorado, we approach the issue of immigration with prayerful hearts, seeking to guide our communities in a spirit of charity, justice, mercy, and prudence. The call to welcome the stranger is woven into the fabric of our faith, and in standing with immigrants, it is our first concern that they know the love of Jesus Christ and their dignity as human beings. We also recognize the responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities, as well as passing on the teaching of the Church on immigration to those who govern.”
