Nine Days of Prayer and Reflection on Mission
First Day: Mission is … Jesus In the Letter to the Hebrews Jesus is called the apostle (Heb. 3:1), the missionary and his mission is the one that God has given him. Yes, with great and foolish love, God has send Jesus, so that everything be saved and God be in everything and everyone (1Cor. 15:28). This is then the first purpose of Jesus’ mission and our mission: to explain and narrate god, to let “the fountain of love” be known. There is urgency in Jesus’ mission: “This is the time of fulfillment, the Reign of God is at hand! Reform your lives and believe in the Gospel.” (Mk. 1:15). That kingdom is breaking into the world through His death and resurrection. With His life, from Bethlehem to Calvary, by His words and deeds, by His doing works of mercy, through His relationships with the people, Jesus accomplished His mission. He let the people know about God. Our mission too is to tell everyone, to pass on the whole world all that Jesus told us: the Good News. Reflect & Act
