Have we yet come to the realization that we too are called by Name to share the Gospel message with others? Especially our fallen brethren who have lost their way and their faith? We are all born into new life by our baptism and by that very fact we are all Kingdom builders; for indeed the Kingdom of heaven is at hand!

Let us then walk in faith and in Christ to proclaim the good news, bringing with us healing, hope, the peace and love of Jesus to all we meet. Amen

GOSPEL
Matthew 10:1–7

Jesus summoned his Twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness. The names of the Twelve Apostles are these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus; Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus.

Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, “Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’“
