He called his disciples.
And he chose from them twelve.
Whom he called Apostles.
But who were these twelve.

They may not have been the brightest.
Or the most loyal .
Or the fittest.
Or the most royal.

They were like us.
Scared , fumbling
Doubting like us.
Even trembling.

They would all run away.
As we all too often turn away.

……

He called disciples
Out of them he chose just twelve
They are our first priests
