Jesus, Lord, even today you look down on the weary and bewildered crowds.
Even today, you fill men and women with your compassion, and you send them out,
without power or security, rich only in the Good News of your Love,
which is a hand stretched out towards each person and the meaning offered to all life.
You send two by two, because faith is communion,
and before it is proclaimed to those far away, it binds brothers together
and makes them companions in destiny.
