Gospel
Mark 16:9-15
Go out to the whole world and proclaim the Good News
Having risen in the morning on the first day of the week, Jesus appeared first to Mary of Magdala from whom he had cast out seven devils. She then went to those who had been his companions, and who were mourning and in tears, and told them. But they did not believe her when they heard her say that he was alive and that she had seen him.
After this, he showed himself under another form to two of them as they were on their way into the country. These went back and told the others, who did not believe them either.
Lastly, he showed himself to the Eleven themselves while they were at table. He reproached them for their incredulity and obstinacy, because they had refused to believe those who had seen him after he had risen. And he said to them, ‘Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation.’
Reflection
When Christ came into this world he was proclaiming the good news to the Jews.After the resurrection he wanted the disciples to proclaim the good news on salvation to the whole world.This commissioning was also addressed to us. What can we do to proclaim the good news?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus through the resurrection you have brought salvation. May the holy spirit give us the strength to proclaim what you commissioned ask to do.
Amen
