Reflect

What instructions does Jesus give to his disciples? What qualities does Jesus require of his followers? If you were to hear Jesus’s words, how would you have responded? In what ways do you carry out Jesus’s mission?

Pray

Lord Jesus, just as you challenged your disciples to share the gospel, you challenge us today to spread your gospel of love and salvation throughout the world. Open the hearts and minds of all who need to hear your message, and empower me to share the Good News. Amen.
