Today’s Gospel

Then he told them, “Go out to the whole world and proclaim the Good News to all creation. The one who believes and is baptized will be saved; the one who , refuses to believe will be condemned. Signs like these will accompany those who have believed: in my name they will cast out demons and speak new languages; they will pick up snakes, and if they drink anything poisonous, they will be unharmed; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.” So then, after speaking to them, the Lord Jesus was taken up into heaven and took his place at the right hand of God. The Eleven went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that accompanied it.

Each of us today receives the same mission as the apostles: proclaim. Nothing  else. This mission does not say ask us to do other things such as organize, occupy key posts, and do great charitable works. But simply, it asks us to announce the Gospel, the good news, and the story of God’s tenderness. This mission does not even require us to share beautiful ideas and solutions to all problems, politics or theology. It simply asks us to spread the Gospel, the life and person of Christ, the whole Christ, true man and true God, and the tenderness of the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit.   /Vulnerasti, 2023
