Homily for Wednesday of the 14th Week in Ordinary Time

In our Gospel reading today, Jesus sends the Apostles to continue His work. He gives them a clear mandate, and as faithful followers, they do as He commands, most of them losing their lives in the process.

Through our Baptism, each of us is personally entrusted with the same mandate. This is not a call to be judgmental, nagging, or obnoxious, but a call to reflect our faith in our words and actions. Sometimes, this means sharing our faith stories, and sometimes, it means quietly living our faith, even in the most mundane moments, fulfilling our responsibility in evangelization. 

So, today, let us pray for the wisdom and courage to answer the call to be evangelists of the Good News of Jesus Christ.
