CHRIST ALSO SENDS US TO EVANGELIZE (Mk 6:7-13)
Today's Gospel, taken from Saint Mark the Evangelist, presents Jesus calling the Twelve and sending them out two by two, confirming them as evangelizers and sending them out to bring the joy of the Kingdom of God. Jesus "called the Twelve to him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits." Here we see the heart of the mission: it is not a solitary undertaking, but a communal one. Jesus does not send his disciples out alone, because he knows that evangelization is a shared journey, supported by brotherhood.
Just as Saint Agatha found strength in the community of believers during her persecutions, so we are called to walk together, to support one another in proclaiming the Gospel. And what power does he give them? Over unclean spirits, a symbol of all that oppresses humanity: sin, illness, injustice. Jesus confirms us as evangelizers not for earthly power, but to liberate, heal, and reconcile
