[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in today’s Gospel, *Jesus chooses the Twelve, whom he names
Apostles.*

*In the apse of the church of San Clemente in Rome, there is a gorgeous
twelfth-century mosaic that gives visual expression to the call of the
Twelve. At the center of the composition is the crucified Jesus.
Surrounding the cross are twelve doves, symbolizing the Apostles, who would
fly around the world with the message of salvation. *

*No biblical figure is ever given an experience of God without receiving,
at the same time, a commission*. *Moses spies the burning bush, hears the
sacred name of Yahweh, and is then told to go back to Egypt to liberate his
people; Isaiah enjoys an encounter with God amidst the splendor of the
temple liturgy and is then sent to preach; Saul is overwhelmed by the
luminosity of the risen Jesus and is subsequently called to apostleship.*

Now *the Apostles *are not simply a distant memory; rather, they *live on
through what we call the apostolic succession. Therefore, the apostolicity
of the Church is our guarantee that we are, despite many developments and
changes across the centuries, still preserving the faith that was first
kindled in that company of Jesus' friends *
