Jesus, “the very first and greatest evangelizer” (Paul VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi , 7), Tuesday: Romans 5:12,15b,17-19,20b-21; who continually sends us forth to proclaim the Gospel of the love of God the Luke 12:35-38
Father in the power of the Holy Spirit. This Day invites us to reflect anew on Wednesday: Romans 6:12-18; Luke 12:39-48 the mission at the heart of the Christian faith. The Church is missionary by Thursday: Romans 6:19-23; Luke 12:49-53 nature; otherwise, she would no longer be the Church of Christ, but one group A b Friday: Romans 7:18-25a; Luke 12:54-59 among many others that soon end up serving their purpose and passing away. So it is important to ask ourselves certain questions about our Christian Saturday: Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles (Feast) Ephesians 2:19-22; Luke 6:12-16 identity and our responsibility as believers …. What is the basis of our mission? What is the heart of our mission? What are the essential Sunday: Exodus 22:20-26; Matthew 22:34-40 approaches we need to carry out our mission?
