Breaking Open the Word Suggested text for faith sharing: Today s Gospel Step One: Listen to the Word As you hear Jesus sending his disciples out to teach in his name, what image comes to mind for you? What strikes you about this event? Step Two: Look into Your Life Question for Children: To whom would you announce the Good News about Jesus? Who do you think most needs to hear this message? Question for Youth: When Jesus sent the disciples out, he was preparing them for the future when he would be gone. How are you growing in your own faith and preparing for a life as a Christian disciple? Question for Adults: Why do you think Jesus sent them out two by two, rather than alone?
