Gospel Reflection- 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C
In this Sunday’s Gospel Jesus sent out seventy-two disciples to proclaim the Kingdom of God, instructing them to trust in divine providence and offer peace. This mission reflects our call to evangelize, sharing the Gospel in our daily lives. Though they faced rejection, the disciples returned joyful. Jesus redirected their joy, emphasizing that their names being "written in heaven" was the ultimate reason for rejoicing. Our deepest joy comes from our relationship with God and eternal salvation, motivating us to be joyful missionaries.
