Wednesday of the 14th week Year C.
Gn. 41:55-57; 42:5-7a, 17-24a: .Mt. 10: 1-7
Today's liturgy helps us to meditate on the calling of the twelve apostles as well as the calling of Joseph, who became, in spite of the betrayal, the savior of brothers who sold him to Egypt. Joseph refused to avenge himself or to abuse the power entrusted to him. As Jesus calls the Apostles, he does it today for us so that we should be at the service of our brothers and sisters. Regardless of our background, Jesus wants us to be his followers so that we can share his message to the world. Like the Apostles, Jesus expects each of us, the willingness to leave our old lives and follow him. To be a true disciple of Christ will involve total reliance on prayer and the commitment to spread the Gospel by words and an exemplary way of life.
Jesus, I trust in you
