Jesus called the Twelve Apostles to him and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts. They were to wear sandals and were not to take an extra tunic. And he said to them,
"Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place. If any place doesn't receive you and the people refuse to listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them." So they set out to proclaim that this was the time to repent. They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.
Today, the fifteenth Sunday of ordinary time, we read that Jesus sends out the Twelve, two by two, to preach. Up until now they had accompanied the Master through Galilee, but the time had come for them to start spreading the Gospel, the Good News: the news that God, Our Father, loves us with an endless love and that he has brought us into existence so as He could make us eternally happy. This news is for everybody. Nobody is left outside of these liberating teachings salvation, though Jesus Christ, the Son of God made man for our sake, who died and was resurrected and is actively present in the Church, has to be announced to the world.
