Am I on mission too? Indeed, all who have been baptized in Christ share in the universal Mission of his Church. But get ready to face persecutions, for "the disciple is not superior to his teacher". We are sent like sheep among wolves. Mission Impossible? So it is, in human terms; but remember the Lord's pledge to His Prophets: "I shall be with you". It is repeated in the Old Testament whenever the Prophet shows fear for his mission; and in the New Testament it is addressed to the Church as a whole, in different formulations, for instance, at the conclusion of Matthew's Gospel: "And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time". We are in good hands - in the hands of Him who takes care of the sparrows! So, fear not, even if He takes your bodily life; if He does, it will be for your good. But who is he who can "destroy both body and soul in hell"? Only God can do so, but He would never do this, unless you force Him; you are the only one who can take this crazy choice; but you are not crazy, are you?
