For 10 July 2024, Wednesday of the 14th week in Ordinary Time, based on Matthew 10:1-7
Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax-collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.
These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: ‘Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, proclaim the good news, “The kingdom of heaven has come near.”

Thank you. Mary Jeremiah for your insights and reflections on the call of Jesus for the disciples. It is so meaningful for us today as we continue to ask the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom and discernment in the many issues of today.
Blessings on your continued preaching of the Good News,
