Jesus went up the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted and they came to him. He appointed the twelve, whom he also named Apostles, that they might be with him and that he might send them forth to preach and to have authority to drive out demons: He appointed the Twelve: Simon, whom he named Peter; James, son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, whom he named Boanerges, that is, son of thunder; Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.
Lord Jesus, send us your blessing, that we too may go forth in this great time of distress to make you known to those in need of redemption. We acknowledge that we are powerless to convey your words to others as the Apostles were called to do. Bless us, send us, and strengthen us, to humbly proclaim you as Lord and Savior of all of mankind. Amen.
