Mk 16:15-18
Go Into The Whole World
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
Mark concludes his Gospel with the great commission to all of us to spread the good news, to preach the Gospel to the whole world. For two thousand years the disciples of Jesus have been doing this, but there is still much to be done, especially now when so many are rejecting Christianity because of scandals or just plain bad example. St.Paul would be "preaching his head off" if he were alive today, scolding us as well as encouraging us. Let us renew our commitment to the teachings of Jesus and take up the commission to spread his Gospel, the Good News, by our words and actions.

Dear Jesus, help me to renew my duty to spread to spread your Good News by my words and actions. Amen.
Thank you, as always, for our daily food for thought.
