<p><strong>Friday of the Thirty-Second Week in Ordinary Time</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;<em>“I plead with you — never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire,&nbsp;</em></p>
<p><em>and never become discouraged.&nbsp;</em><em>Be not afraid.”</em><em>&nbsp;</em></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;My sisters and brothers in the Lord,&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Welcome to week forty-six of BMW, <em>Be My Witnesses</em>. This week we will have a bit of learning by focusing on some texts from the <a href="https://email-mg.flocknote.com/c/eJwUzEFOxCAUBuDTwJLwfl5hXLAwcVAXzsqFO0MfkNaZaU2HtNc3XuArMZBDYF0jBe_IM1noKVJAG33gp-JBIxUSPziECqp2aB56jrAYiIjh-ASYNkoLxJKtK-JKU2zbbZXrsvZqZL3rW5x6_30o96yQFNJxHGbPfZa8mD0rpLzJNO9VIZ0vr9bSoJC-3y8v5y_z9vmh_6G5RMd08gOC3uLPNG75WhVbWe-SH90stes94i8AAP__dTw97A">Catechism of the Catholic Church</a>&nbsp;which deal with being missionaries. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Learn: Catechism on Mission</strong> &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of my favorite Scripture texts is from Hebrews 12:1-2: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith.” The Gospel of Jesus Christ and its spreading has always relied on a cloud of witnesses. We are each to be a member of that group.&nbsp;</p>
