Gospel Reading: Mark 16:9-15
> “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16:15)
Reflection:
On this final day of the Easter Octave, we are reminded of the mission that flows from the Resurrection. Jesus, having conquered death, now sends His disciples—and us—out into the world. But notice how this moment follows confusion, doubt, and disbelief. The disciples struggled to believe the testimony of others. And yet, Jesus meets them where they are, gently rebukes their unbelief, and still entrusts them with the most important mission: to proclaim the Good News to all creation.
This is our call, too. Even when we feel unworthy, uncertain, or discouraged, the Risen Christ commissions us. He doesn’t wait for perfect messengers—He empowers imperfect hearts.
As we close the Easter Octave, let’s renew our joy and commitment to be witnesses of the Resurrection—not just in words, but in the way we live, love, and serve.
