Take Five for Faith
Invest just five minutes a day, and your faith will deepen and grow -a day at a time. Friday, July 25
Feast of James, apostle
You send me
What makes the apostle James different from the many other "Jameses"
in the New Testament? The word apostle comes from the Greek apostolos,
"someone sent out." The more general meaning of the word is translated
into Latin as missio, from which we get missionary. But it
is also used in a more specific sense to refer to the first 12 disciples
whom Jesus chose, named, and "sent out" to the world. While we honor James
in name today as one of those 12, we can honor him and the other apostles
much more by carrying on their work in the world. Ready for your send-off?
Today’s readings: 1 Corinthians 4:7-15; Matthew 20:20-28
"Whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant."
