Lord You Give the Great Commission: Daily Catholic Reflection

Today's Gospel is Mark 6:7-13

Jesus instructs the apostles to go out two by two saying

"Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave from there.

Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you,

leave there and shake the dust off your feet

in testimony against them."

So they went off and preached repentance.

The Twelve drove out many demons,

and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them."

Christians are called to preach repentance, to bring forgiveness, to bring mercy, because Christ has instructed them too. Sometimes, by the power of the Holy Spirit, they will be met with great success. Other times, by the providence of God, they will not, and there they "shake the dust off their feet" in testimony. Either way we must increase our evangelical zeal! 

Praised be Jesus Christ!
