After the Apostles have done their given task, somehow performed their specific
mission, they came back - rejoin Jesus - and started "story-telling".
For our time in our Parish:
A) Who feels to have got a specific mission into his/her own situation?
B) If yes: did you get an invitation to come back and to tell your experiences;
more: to exchange your "successes"? And to be part of a mission-plan
and you feel to be taken seriously?
I feel this is the strategy of Jesus!
And today:
A) It's the Parish-Council (with the Parish-Priest) who has the duty to explain
and to tailor with you your specific mission in your situation, in our Community.
Your mission ist not to fulfill your dreams or imaginations - our mission is to
re-act to the need of our people "on the way to participate with the fulness of Life".
Such a mission needs a good preparation, encouragement and resources.
B) But - and this says the GOSPEL of today - there must be a chance to come
back and to tell, exchange your experiences. Such a "comeback" is the real step,
the stepping stone into the Christian future.
This level of "Christian-Community-Life" for every Community-member
(for 30% of all adult members) is a modern goal. Everyone has discovered and
discussed his specific mission; he/she is well conscious of his/her mission - and brings
back his/her experiences, again and again.
But a public-mission-strategy for every Community-member (especially after
confirmation) is only written between the stars. We on earth don't have it.
"ons is verlore tussen die daaglikse besigheid".
