St Mary's Prays
This week we are still reflecting on the virtue of honour, so I thought it fitting to tie in yesterday's Gospel Reading called, The Great Commision.
Matthew 28:16-20
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Here we see and hear Jesus calling us all to be witnesses, to go forth and spread the Good News. This means we become Christ like and live through our actions rather than our words, this being poignant in the saying, actions speak louder than words. We are called by Christ to be missionaries, to aid those who need care and love both physically and spiritually.
