May We Be Messengers of the Word of the Lord

Let us listen to the Apostles, let us hear the word of the Lord, but we are also messengers of that Word, because it blows away the demons, freed the captives and healing the sick

“They came to hear Jesus and be healed of their diseases” (Lucas 6, 18).

19778287871_8dccee02d2_zThe Apostles St. Simon and St. Jude Thaddeus, Saints who were part of the company of twelve, were the Apostles chosen among many disciples Jesus had behind you.

What is the role of the Apostles? The apostolate is above all the result of Our Lord Jesus Christ. And to follow it means learning with His way of life. What we have learned and heard we take to others when we are sent on mission. So the Apostles are those who hear Jesus; and those that hear them are also cured of their diseases and illnesses.

Our role is to hear the word of God, because, to hear it, is for us a source of healing, deliverance, and restoration.

How beautiful to listen to God’s Word, which comes from the mouth of the Apostles, those who are actually the envoys of the Lord! Each bishop in his Church, has the mission to be this Apostle, the successor of the Apostles, but it doesn’t take any of us from our mission and responsibility in the Christian apostolate.

The Christian apostolate happens when we announce the word of God and people come to us to be touched in the soul, the heart. And once the heart and soul are touched by the word of the Lord, the soul gets free even of physical ailments.

Many times, we’re trapped in what we are suffering, but it only takes one word of the Lord to stay free and liberated.Let us listen to the Apostles, let us hear the word of the Lord, but we are also messengers of that Word, because it blows away the demons, frees the captives and heals the sick.

The Mission of the Apostles is take the word of God to every corner of the Earth. Our mission, our apostolate is announce the Word wherever we are; It will bring more joy, more courage, deliverance and restoration for the hearts to listen!

God bless you!
