Episode Synopsis

Doing Something for God: The Missionary Call of Every Christian

Today’s Homily for the Feast of St. Luke the Evangelist . . .

. . . reminds us that, like the 72 disciples Jesus sent out, we are all called to be missionaries. This missionary call doesn’t necessarily mean traveling abroad . . . it begins in our own homes and communities.

Faith and Mission

The Homily illustrates this by comparing evangelization to talking about a favorite sport: we naturally speak about what we love. If we truly love Jesus, we should talk about Him with our family and friends and show His presence through our actions.

Jesus sends His disciples in pairs, highlighting that faith is lived in community, not isolation. As followers of Christ, we are called to bring peace wherever we go and to represent God in our words and deeds.
