"As [Jesus] was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is now called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, ‘Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ At once they left their nets and followed him." Matthew 4:18-20
St. Andrew had first been a follower of John the Baptist and through John's witness became a disciple of Jesus. St. Andrew was one of the the first four Apostles chosen by Christ Jesus.

Pacem in Terris Hermitage
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
- Words of Jesus Christ, Matthew 5:9
Pacem in Terris means "Peace on earth" in Latin. Jesus said; "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you.", and it is the
peace of the Lord that we share with visitors at Quaker Monastery, and we pray for the peace of the world every day.
