## Resource

This is a spiritual reflection on the commissioning of the twelve apostles as described in the Gospel of Matthew. The author explains that Jesus bestowed his own authority upon these chosen men, tasking them with healing the sick and continuing his divine mission as His instruments in the Church. Listeners are encouraged to view themselves as modern-day laborers who must rely on prayer to receive specific instructions from God for their own apostolic work. The narrative emphasizes that effective outreach is rooted in genuine charity and recognizing the intrinsic dignity of every person, rather than seeking mere conquest. By following the historical example of early Christians who served others during times of plague, the author argues that selfless love remains the most potent tool for spreading the faith. Thus, the mission of the believer is to remain close to others with kindness and concern, ultimately serving as a bridge to Christ.
