“Jesus and his disciples would have known they had less than a decade left of life, if that. And still, their God-given mission was to bring justice to the nations. Now imagine if we set our sights that high. Forget, ‘we would like to grow as a parish.’ Imagine if our mission was to bring justice to the nations, in less than ten years.”
