Today’s Gospel, as one commentator observes, describing how Jesus commissioned the disciples to their ministry and how they performed it, repeats almost exactly Mark’s earliest description of the very first day of Jesus’ own ministry. On that day Jesus begins by 1) preaching repentance; then he 2) calls the first disciples, 3) teaches with authority, 4) exorcises a demon, and 5) heals by touching (Mk1, 15-34).

                    [Summary] => We seek a magic formula which would end all evil in individual lives, in society, even in churches. We get surprised when we observe a shocking godlessness, a moral decadence, a culture of death so frightening that we begin to wonder whether God has forsaken us. We begin to question His providence. Does He really care for His creatures, most of all His people?

                    [Summary] => What is the place of evil in the economy of salvation? Maybe the question would not even occur to us; or, we are inclined to think evil can hardly have any place at all within anything encompassed by love. So we condemn those who perpetuate evil while we consider ourselves as among the good people, faithful to our religious practices, living ordinarily good, decent lives. That is, it would be unthinkable for us to be murderers, kidnapers, rapist or to commit anything gruesome.
