When we are called to serve, God equips us with the necessary authority and power to fulfill our mission.
We are to travel light and focus on our mission without being burdened by material possessions.
God will provide and meet our needs as we carry out His work.
Let us be open to the Lord’s transformative work in our lives and the lives of others.
Jesus summoned the Twelve with grace,
And sent them out to every place.
Two by two, their mission clear,
To spread the Word, to conquer fear.
With authority, He gave them might,
Over unclean spirits, they brought the light.
No food, no sack, no coins to hold,
But faith and trust, more precious than gold.
A walking stick, their only gear,
In simple trust, they had no fear.
For on this journey, God's love would guide,
With every step, He walked beside.
Lord Jesus,
You called and sent forth Your disciples, Grant us the courage to follow in their steps. Empower us with Your authority over all that is unclean and fill our hearts with unwavering faith.
Help us to trust in Your provision, taking nothing but Your guidance for our journey. May we rely on Your strength and grace, as we spread Your love and message.
Guide us with Your wisdom and keep us humble and focused on Your mission. In Your name, we seek to serve, For Your glory, we strive to be faithful.
Amen.

Gospel Acclamation
The Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel.
Gospel | Mark 6:7-13
7 Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits. 8 He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick—no food, no sack, no money in their belts. 9 They were, however, to wear sandals but not a second tunic. 10 He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave from there. 11 Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, leave there and shake the dust off your feet in testimony against them.” 12 So they went off and preached repentance. 13 The Twelve drove out many demons, and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.
