"Go on your way, behold, I am sending you"
Travelling to Jerusalem Jesus sends out in pairs His followers who will extend His ministry of healing and preaching the Kingdom of God to all who welcome them. The task of spreading the Word of God is so great that it can not be left to the twelve. It must be carried out by the seventy – two and others. Still, these will not be enough. Jesus tells the Disciples that the harvest is enormous compared to the small number of evangelisers, and His first guideline is that they pray for more workers. The seventy two are given the same instructions as the twelve.
Prayer
Lord, inspire more of our young boys and girls with a desire to enter the priesthood and the religious life. Amen.
