Eighth Sunday of Spring

Gospel Reading
​
On that day, Ieshu went to a mountain and spent the whole night praying to God. And when day came, he called his disciples, and chose twelve of them to be with him, and to send them out to preach. These are the ones we call apostles (sent out), namely Simon, to whom he gave the nickname Peter, James, son of Zebedee, and John his brother, to whom he gave the name Boanerges, i.e. son of thunder, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James, son of Alphaeus, Simon, the Canaanite, Judas of Iscariot, who was a traitor. And gave them these commandments: go and teach, saying: the heavenly kingdom is drawing near. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out the elementals. You have received freely, give freely. ​
