But they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.
Jesus does not send his disciples into the world alone. He gives them the Holy Spirit to work with them and confirm their works through signs. Today we might not have the great signs they did, but we are still not alone. The Lord works through and with us to accomplish God’s Will. He gives us every grace to fulfill our role in his Divine Plan. All we have to do is accept the graces he gives us and the task he sets before us and then we will become living signs of God’s love for His children. Every time we preach the gospel through word and especially through deed, we manifest God’s saving grace to those whom we help.
What tasks have God set before us? If we don’t yet know what they are, then how can we discern them? What signs, great and small, confirm our works as good and Christ-like?
O Lord, work with us and confirm your word through us.
Amen.
