Today's Gospel provides us with an important day in the mission of Jesus: his calling of the Twelve. (Lk 6: 12-19). So important it was, that he spent the night in prayer on a mountain before making the formal announcement. Luke notes that this was done on level ground; no one was even physically above the other, although Peter emerged as the leader, and Judas, as the betrayer.
We might reflect on our call to be in union with Jesus and in the company of these Twelve as well as one another. We are to spread the good word of love and forgiveness, compassion and care and point the way to Jesus as our loving Savior, our loving Brother in our daily dealings with all who come into our path. We too are on level ground and can receive from others as well as give. With Jesus, let us spend time in prayer to know our Father's will, so that we might be effective disciples.
