Dear Friend in the Lord,
Empowerment – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus commissioned His Apostles to proclaim the Gospel to the Chosen race; the Israelites. He also gave them the divine power to expel evil spirits and cure illnesses. Ponder on, “Have you also experienced Jesus’ Spirit urging and empowering you to make Jesus known to your family, friends, colleagues and others?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 10:1,5-7
Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits with power to drive them out and to cure all kinds of disease and all kinds of illness.
These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them as follows: ‘Do not make your way to gentile territory, and do not enter any Samaritan town; go instead to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. And as you go, proclaim that the kingdom of Heaven is close at hand.’
