Like the Prophet Amos in the First Reading and the Apostles in our Gospel, we are also called entrusted with the responsibility of tirelessly proclaiming the Good News of God’s Mercy.

We are called to reach across the boundaries—whatever form they might take—and invite others to join us in living out this mission.

The light of grace lead Cornelius along a new path.

Our task is simple: to share good news—to proclaim Christ—by sharing with the world what we ourselves have seen and come to believe.

Looking forward to that day when we recall the gift of the Spirit’s fullness on that first Pentecost, the liturgy and the witness of these martyrs invite us to reflect on our own call to mission and evangelization.

As women and men who have come to share in the Apostles’ and Evangelists’ belief in the Risen Lord, we too are called to the same evangelizing mission that was entrusted to them.
