When Jesus commissioned his beloved disciples to heal in his name, he instructed them to raise up all whom their culture neglected, persecuted, or cast aside. To these outcasts they were to proclaim the nearness of the kingdom of a God who cherished them, and stood with them, and in whose embrace they would be safe, at last. In welcoming the good news of a new order, all would be blessed and rewarded with a peace that would stay with them in this lifetime and the next.
O Holy One, help us to go out into the world confident that your welcome travels with us everywhere there is need, multiplying your blessings to the ends of the earth.
