Saturday in the Octave of Easter

He said to them, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.”

Jesus tells the Apostles to do this after he rebukes them for not believing he had been raised. He understands human frailty in the face of doubt. Sometimes our faith falters and we fail to live up to what Christ calls us to be. However, he always challenges us to go back into the world and proclaim the Gospel. He gives us every opportunity to be a person of good words and works. We have only to trust in what he tells us through the Church, the scriptures, and the Holy Spirit.

What don’t we believe about our faith? How can we learn to trust the teachings of the Church? In what ways do we go into the world and proclaim the Gospel?

O Lord, constantly remind us of our calling to proclaim the Gospel to the whole world.

Amen.
