Marce Singson Our Gospel reading this weekend comes the last chapter of St. Matthew where Jesus brought his eleven apostles to a mountain in Galilee prior to his ascension into heaven. The text says: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore and make disciple to all nations; baptise them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…..” This passage is called the Great Commission. It is the final instructive word from Jesus to His church. Jesus had just risen. The Jews had killed Him and were equally ready to do away with His disciples. The Roman empire was a strict ruler that didn't like people causing any problems. The ruler of the land was Herod. There was a great tension between the Jewish community and the Roman power system. The Jews wanted to be free from Roman rule. The Romans wanted this small strange country called Israel to be peaceful. The dominant religion in the Roman Empire was emperor worship. Tiberius Caesar was the ruler from A.D. 14-37. Next was Caligula (37-41), Claudius (41-54), Nero who persecuted the Christians (54-68). In 70 A.D., Jerusalem was besieged by the Romans and the Temple was destroyed. It is not Christian nation, but only have Christians in them. Its officials were antagonistic to Christianity. And... it was into this world, that Jesus com- missioned the disciples. Their commission was difficult....but the eleven apostles must face it even to death. The apostles had done their part. We are the new apostles of Jesus and he wants us to finish what He began. He came to the disciples, taught them, and worked with them. He then died on the cross and rose from the dead. But, before He ascended into heaven, He gave them, and us, the commission to convert the world. He will not ask us to do the impossible. We need to know that our efforts to honor Christ by obeying His call to make disciples of all nations is something that you can do. Do it where you are, with those whom we meet, with those we work with, with those you go to school with, etc., through our friendliness, kindness, humility, politeness, patience and our being helpful to them. Let us be witnesses for Jesus in our lives and when necessary, talk about Him, too.

St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal
Every year the SVDP Society organises a
Winter Appeal in every parish throughout
Australia to raise funds to provide the needs of the
poor and marginalised. It is hard to believe that in a
first world country, like Australia, there are over two
million people living below the poverty line, half a
million of whom are children. Sad to say this number
is increasing. Many people are losing their jobs due to
the increased use of technology. The greatest in the
