Gospel of the day

Mt 10, 7-15.

All apostles.

Jesus sent his twelve apostles, saying: By the way, proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is near. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. You have received freely, give without pay. Do not bring up gold or silver or coins or provisions for the journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy livelihood. When you enter a city or a town, find someone respectable and stay at home until they leave. Upon entering the house, invoking peace Say hello on it. If that house deserves it, that peace be upon her, but if unworthy, that peace return to you. And if you do not receive or want to hear his words, to leave that house or that city, shake off the dust of his feet. I assure you, on the day of Judgment, Sodom and Gomorrah will be treated less severely than that city.

Reflection:

Jesus today also sent us Catholics to evangelize, proclaiming that the Kingdom of God is near, because after a great tribulation that will experience the world, the Kingdom of God come to earth.

So we invite all people to conversion, before it is too late. "Fear God happens," says Scripture, and God passes through our lives we must follow.

The same must instill in the men who follow Jesus, because at some point there will be no longer and that has to happen will happen.

This is not to frighten, but to be prepared and have in mind that we are not made for the land but for Heaven, that our country is the ultimate paradise, and everything down here is fleeting and we must help get to Heaven is, and should not be an obstacle to that end.

The life of man on earth is like a waiting room to enter into eternity, and what we do in life prepares us an eternity of happiness or torment.

We can not stay quiet because on the day of judgment many of our brothers we could complain: "What!, Do you know and I do not say anything?"

So hand in hand of the Virgin and trust in her and in God, evangelize our brothers, whether the word or, more importantly, with our Christian way of life.

Let us ask Our Lady's grace be available for God to use us as instruments of salvation in this hour the world is experiencing very serious.

Jesus, Mary, I love you, save souls.
