“Proclaim that the kingdom of God
is close at hand”
In today’s Gospel, we see Jesus sending out the apostles to proclaim his message. We are also called to witness to the Gospel and to proclaim by the lives we lead that the Kingdom of God is among us.
In the words of Pope Benedict
“Each of us is the result of a thought of God.
Each of us is willed, each of us is loved,
each of us is necessary.
There is nothing more beautiful than to be
surprised by the Gospel,
by the encounter with Christ.
There is nothing more beautiful than to know Him
and to speak to others of our friendship with Him”
