Gospel: Mark 16:15-20
They will pick up serpents with their hands, and if
they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the
sick, and they will recover.” Then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was
taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God. But they went
forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed
the word through accompanying signs.

Reflection:
Do you take time to share in whatever way possible
what you know about Jesus?
The gospel speaks is the end of the earthly ministry
of Jesus and the start of the ministry of the apostles. We all know that the
apostles were very successful in their mission of evangelization. But it was
not easy for they worked very hard and except for one all of them died for
their mission.
It’s so easy to remain in our comfort zones and just
live the lifestyle that we want. We do everything for ourselves and we tend to
forget God and our mission to spread the gospel as well. Then, when
we are at the sunset of our lives we will find out that nothing really matters
except God. Yes, at the end nothing really matters except God alone: Money
will not matter influence and power will not matter either.
God wants us to spread the good news in whatever way
possible. He wants us to proclaim our faith not necessarily by words alone but
through our actions as well. If we can proclaim our faith thru our
actions that would be much better since actions speaks volumes than
words.
As the Lord ascends to heaven He is gently reminding you about your baptismal mission. Which is to help the Lord spread the faith through your words and actions. - Marino J. Dasmarinas
