1st Saturday of Advent

Matthew 9:35-10:1, 5A, 6-8




*Friends, today’s Gospel, taken from the magnificent tenth chapter of
Luke’s Gospel, is a portrait of the Church. It shows us what Jesus wants
his followers to do and how to do it. We are a missionary Church. We are
sent by the Lord to spread his word and do his work. The Christian Gospel
is just not something that we are meant to cling to for our own benefit.
Rather, it is like seed that we are meant to give away.We do this work
together, with others, in community. Ministers need people to support them,
pray for them, talk to them, challenge them. Francis of Assisi had an
experience of God and then, within months, gathered people around him;
Dominic, from the beginning, had brothers in his work; and Mother Teresa
attracted a number of her former students to join her in her mission. We
don’t go it alone.And prayer is not incidental to ministry. It is not
decorative. It is the lifeblood of the Church’s efforts. Without it,
nothing will succeed; without it, no ministers will come forward. At all
points, pray, pray, pray. *
