Word of Faith

You’re on a mission from God

The world “Apostle” comes from the Greek word meaning “to send,” so the Apostle is literally “the sent one.” That meaning is very clear in Sunday’s Gospel (Mk 6:7-13), in which Jesus sends out the Twelve, two by two.
Questions to ask yourself

The Gospel passage and readings for Sunday give us several lessons with which to pray. The first one is straightforward: what to expect when you bear witness to your faith.
Doctor of souls will see you now

In Sunday’s Gospel (Mk 5:21-43), we see the divine physician, Jesus Christ, our Lord, in action.

What is the kingdom of God?

Jesus, in a rich parable (Mark 4:26-34), presents to us this Sunday a beautiful image that, no doubt, would have been familiar to the agrarian culture of the Israel of the Lord’s day. Jesus expresses the central message that He is in Himself and that He came to bring: the kingdom of God.
