The Gospel today is telling us of how much value each one is to God.
“In the first place it should be known that if a person is seeking God, his Beloved is seeking him much more.” says St. John of the Cross. St. Teresa tells us “He never takes his eyes from us”
The disciples are being sent out on their first mission – scary stuff, but they are not alone.
Nothing can kill that soul reflecting the image of God. Let us trust in this for ourselves and the whole of humanity.
