In today’s gospel reading, Jesus personally sends His disciples out into the world. He gives them the power and authority to preach and perform miracles. Jesus commissions them to build His kingdom of followers. We, as Christians, are the new disciples of Christ. Our mission is the same. We have been empowered by God to go forth and build His kingdom. Jesus is always with us. Our Parish & School community and other faith communities around the world were built on this conviction. But our work is not done. We must continue drawing others into the light of God’s love. Yet Catholics, generally, are not “door-to-door” evangelists. So how do we share our faith? We do it in the same way God has called us - with a personal invitation.
