Wednesday, 14th Week in Ordinary Time
St. Maria Goretti, Virgin and Martyr
Green.

Hos 10:1– 3, 7 – 8, 12 / Mt 10:1 – 7

St. Maria Goretti (1890 – 1902), a 12-year old Italian maiden, was stabbed
to death by one who wished to seduce her.

Gospel Reading: Mt 10:1 - 7
Then he called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority over the
unclean spirits to drive them out and to heal every disease and sickness.

These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and
his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John;
Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew, the tax collector; James, the
son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon, the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot,
the man who would betray him.

Jesus sent these twelve on mission with the instruction: "Do not visit
pagan territory and do not enter a Samaritan town. Go instead to the lost
sheep of the people of Israel. Go and proclaim this message: The kingdom of
heaven is near."

Reflection
"The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!" This is the message of Jesus; this is
the message the Twelve and his disciples were commissioned to preach.

We, like the apostles, are tasked to speak God's words and to bring healing
to those who need it. But then you may ask, "Why would God choose me?" You
may think yourself unworthy of such an 'honor' and feel you have nothing to
offer. But are you really that different from any of the Twelve? Think
about it: His twelve apostles consisted of fishermen, tax collectors and
even one who ultimately betrayed the Lord Himself. How "worthy" were they?

Jesus chose them not because they seemed qualified or extraordinary: there
is a mystery in God's choices. He chooses based on what he knows. He knows
what we are capable of doing under his guidance.
We just have to take that leap and let him. We can, like the
disciples/apostles, perhaps very unlikely, cast out demons, cleanse lepers,
or cure diseases. However, the work of "healing" does not only come in the
form of medical miracles; it assumes many forms – like effecting a change
of heart, counseling, spreading God's word and love to others by the way we
live, in whatever station in life we may be – a teacher, a doctor, a
carpenter, a caregiver, a friend. Serving is not a grand gesture; it is
doing little things every day for the greater glory of God.
