Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.
As you go proclaim that the Kingdom is at hand.

We now all of us are his people.

Wherever we come from and whatever land.

The Gospel today is about numbers , names and orders.

The number 12,  the Apostle’s names and instructions.

Sending them out within Israel’s borders.

And from this we can make our own deductions.

So we have to proclaim.

Whoever we are .

For ourselves no claim.

The travel, however far.

We are not the first.

But we still have the thirst .

……

Jesus sent out twelve

We are now many of us

But the same message

…..

See  Matthew 10: 1-7
