Sunday Inspiration from St. Brigid/Our Lady of Hope School!
Today's Gospel Reading is Matthew 9:36-10:8
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were distressed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few. Therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers for his harvest.”
Instructions to the Apostles: The Charter of the Apostolate
Chapter 10
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles. Calling his twelve disciples together, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, with the power to drive them out and to cure every kind of disease and illness.
These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.
These twelve Jesus sent forth after giving them the following instructions: “Do not travel to the territory of the Gentiles, and enter no Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. And as you go, proclaim: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. You received without payment; give in the same way.
May your Sunday and the coming week be filled with blessings!
