REFLECTION:
Jesus’ mandate to “Go out to the whole world and proclaim the Good News to all creation” is addressed to all of us.
Let us ask ourselves, what have I done/ what will I do to carry out this mandate? This mandate requires three things:
faith in the Lord, willingness to carry out this mission, and perseverance. In carrying out this mission, we can meet
all kinds of trials and difficulties, but the Lord assures us of his abiding presence; he will empower us to do good and
protect us from all dangers. After Saint Paul’s encounter with the risen Lord on his way to Damascus, he becomes a zealous missionary.
He encountered persecution and many trials but he persevered till the end. May the example and prayers of Saint Paul help us to
become zealous missionaries in our family, workplace, community, and society.
