Reading: John 20:21
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”
We’re commissioned! Think about the St. Stephen mission statement, “Love God. Love People. Make Disciples.” This isn’t just a catchy phrase, developed by a zealous pastor or council – it’s the call to service straight from Jesus. His model showed us that he associated with all people – not just the rich and famous. He served all people – foreigners, the poor, the sickly, the outwardly sinful and the covertly sinful – and wants us to do the same.
Glorious Savior: Help us not to say, “Is it I, Lord,” but to know that it is I who should go out to serve and share the Good News. Amen.
