In the gospel of LK 10:1-12, 17-20, Jesus sends out the
seventy in groups of two. He sends them out two by two because it provides
companionship for their journey, and the ability to hold up each other when the
going gets tough. The seventy disciples or missionaries are told that they may
not be successful or well received in every town and not everyone will receive
the message of Christ with open heart.
Every authentic Christian is called to participate in the
spreading of the message of Christ through a total commitment in prayer and
action. He calls us to commit ourselves completely to Him, and hold nothing
back.
Mission is for all of us. You have been invited, you have been
sent, you have been entrusted to carry out the mission of the Church. We shall
continue to pray for the increase of consecrated vocations to the priesthood
and religious life and the involvement of laity in the life of the Church.
