Reading I: Acts 1:1-11 II: Ephesians 1:17-23
Gospel
Matthew 28: 16-20

16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
17 And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."

One Main Point

Jesus entrusted his apostles the mission and power to proclaim to mankind what they had heard, seen with their eyes, to carry on Jesus' teaching ministry until the end of the age.


Reflections
  1. How do I respond to Jesus? call to be his disciple?
  2. If I ask Jesus how his call applied to me, how might he answer me?
