Gospel: Mark
3:13-19
Jesus
went up the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted and they came to him. He
appointed Twelve, whom he also named Apostles, that they might be with him and
he might send them forth to preach and to have authority to drive out demons: He
appointed the Twelve: Simon,
whom he named Peter; James, son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, whom
he named Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder; Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew,
Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean, and Judas
Iscariot who betrayed him.

Reflection:
What is
your responsibility as a follower of Jesus?
Your responsibility is to help Jesus spread the faith; to share it with humility through your
words and actions. This is what the
twelve apostles did and we must follow it. Every now and then God constantly
reminds us of this responsibility. That we need to do something in our lifetime
to spread our faith for the simple reason that it’s not hard anymore to do this
now.
We have
the technology at our disposal to make a difference and reach out to those
who are not properly schooled about our faith. We have our family (Our domestic
church) to share our faith and we have our extended relatives and close friends
to share it with.
What have
you done so far to be like the apostles who fearlessly shared the faith? Are
you living the faith with humility? Have you invited your dormant catholic family
and friends to reignite the fire of their faith by shepherding them to church
for Mass?
You have
to do something to spread the faith for you to live a meaningful life in this
world. Enough of chasing the riches of this world for it will not give you
contentment. Enough of living a worldly and sinful life for it will never ever
give you peace. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
