They came to him

Greetings on this the Friday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time
Readings: 1 Sm 24:3-21; PS 57:2, 3-4, 6 and 11; Mk 3:13-19

Summary

Stretch, press and come to him. All of us. We are permitted to make the assumption that our divine mission is unstoppable. What is our mission? It has different contours for everyone but one thing is clear. Our mission is to reach Jesus. Our mission is to offer the same graces to others.

Personal Reflection

Keep going!

First Reading

Saul then said to David: “You are in the right rather than I; you have treated me generously, while I have done you harm. Great is the generosity you showed me today, when the LORD delivered me into your grasp and you did not kill me. For if a man meets his enemy, does he send him away unharmed? May the LORD reward you generously for what you have done this day. And now, I know that you shall surely be king and that sovereignty over Israel shall come into your possession.”

Responsorial

Have mercy on me, God, have mercy.

Have mercy on me, O God; have mercy on me,
for in you I take refuge.
In the shadow of your wings I take refuge,
till harm pass by.

Gospel Acclamation

God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

Gospel

Jesus went up the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted and they came to him. He appointed Twelve, whom he also named Apostles, that they might be with him and he might send them forth to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.

Peace be with you,
Deacon Gerry
