Gospel: Luke 6:12-16
When day came, he called his disciples to
himself, and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named Apostles: Simon,
whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called a Zealot, and
Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Reflection:
Do you have the habit of prayer?
Before making the crucial decision to appoint the twelve apostles Jesus prayed first for guidance from God. Perhaps Jesus also asked the guidance of the Holy Spirit, this is how it should always be for us also. Whenever we will make a crucial decision or any decision in our life we must pray first and ask guidance from God.
After praying, Jesus went on to choose the twelve apostles. They were ordinary people like us—some were fishermen who became fishers of men, and they were sinners like us. What does this Gospel tell us? It tells us that every one of us can be a partner of Jesus in His mission of evangelization.
We are now in the era of social media thus evangelization is not anymore limited to face to face evangelization. We can evangelize using the cyberspace: write about Jesus, post on your social media accounts anything about Jesus and your Christian faith.
We can all now be cyber missionaries. The avenues for effective evangelization in cyberspace are unlimited. Let us, therefore, take advantage of the technology that is available in the palms of our hands.
Be not afraid to respond to this call of Jesus. Because He will empower you, He will guide you and He will be there for you. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
