“For my sake they will persecute you.” Lk. 21:12-19

In following the call of Jesus to build his Kingdom, He warns today in his Gospel that following him is not easy because there will be persecution and detention, imprisonment and even death, but it will be here from these extreme situations that we will have the opportunity to bear witness to his Gospel. But in perseverance we will save our lives. Following Jesus is a great challenge, which implies proclaiming and denouncing from love and justice every situation of misery, oppression and slavery. This is a hindrance for those who, from their position of power, abuse and mistreat the little ones.

Let us pray for the missionaries, leaders, mistreated and abused women…for all those who have lost their freedom for being proclaimers of the gospel.
