Gospel Reading: Matthew 28:16–20

The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Summary

In this Gospel reading, Jesus meets his disciples after rising from the dead. He gives them an important mission: to go out into the world and share his message with everyone. Jesus tells them to baptise people and teach them how to live as his followers. Even though some of the disciples still felt unsure, Jesus promised that he would always be with them.

This reading reminds Catholics that we are called to live our faith openly through kindness, service, prayer, and love for others. Jesus continues to guide and support us every day.

Reflection Questions

How can I share the love and message of Jesus with others in my daily life?
When do I need to trust that Jesus is with me, even during difficult times?

Prayer

Loving God,

Thank you for the gift of Jesus and his promise to stay with us always.

Help us to follow his teachings and share his love with others through our words and actions.

Give us courage to live as faithful disciples each day.

May we bring hope, peace, and kindness to those around us.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
