Commission to Heal and Love

Boldness, victory and a commission to “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news* to the whole creation. “ are the themes of the texts of the Roman Catholic Lectionary for today. The Gospel of Mark is concise. The mission is given to disciples who initially fail to believe in Jesus Resurrection, yet as Luke recounts in Acts, when they act in the Name of Jesus, the Good News of acceptance and healing spreads and is received by thousands.
