Monday (October 28): Jesus chose twelve apostles

Scripture:Luke 6:12-19

In these days he went out to the mountain to pray; and all night he continued in prayer to God. And when it was day, he called his disciples, and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles; Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot, and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea  and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came forth from him and healed them all.

Reflection:

Kon buot hunâ-hunâon, si Jesus na Anak ni God, entiro duyon nangadjê sa Ija Father sa langit para mangajô nan giya sa Ija mga bulohaton sa ministry.

Pagkatapos ni Jesus mangajô na giya kan Father God, kina-masisuyoman, tagpilî sanan tagtawag Nija an Ija dose ka mga apostoles para moabag Dija sa Ija mga bulohaton.

An mga pinili ni Lord na mga apostoles, dili sila kon mga propesyunal sanan waya sila sa uno rakan na posisyon sa sosiyedad sanan waya’y ila duro na mga kabtangan sanan mga bahandî, mga ordinaryo ra sila na mga tawo.

Mga ordinaryo ra sila na mga tag-pilî ni Jesus pero ekstra-ordinaryo an ila trabaho para sa Kaharian ni God.

Kita isab, tagtawag kita tanan ni God para sa misyon para sa Ija kahimayaan, amo na an pangutana kuman: Uno man an panawagan ni God para sa imo kinabuhi?

"Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Son of God and the Savior of the world. Inflame my heart with a burning love for you and with an expectant faith in your saving power. Take my life and all that I have as an offering of love for you, who are my All."
