Go rather to the lost sheep

“Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’” (MT 10: 6-7)

Our Lord’s primary concern has always been for “the lost sheep.” While on earth, His outreach centered on the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Today, it extends to include all who are in need, those “lost sheep” who feel abandoned or rejected. As His children, we rest in the knowledge we are loved and His kingdom is at hand.

“The Kingdom of God is at hand: repent and believe in the Gospel.” (Gospel Acclamation)
