What is an indulgence? The indulgence frees the pardoned sinner
“from every residue left by the consequences of sin, enabling him to at
with charity, to grow in love rather to fall back into sin.” The granting
of indulgences is rooted in Jesus’ response to Peter’s declaration that
Jesus was “the Messiah, the son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “I
will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you
bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on
earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Mt. 16:18-19).

Meditation: Isaiah 6:1-8 “Here I am,” I said; “send me!” (Isaiah 6:8)
A commission is a special type of command. The person
commissioning is not just ordering one task to be done; he or
she is entrusting an entire project to another person. There’s a
lot of responsibility, but a lot of trust as well. It’s an honor to
receive a commission!
Today’s first reading is focused on the commission that God
gave to the prophet Isaiah. It began with a revelation of God’s
glory, which moved Isaiah to repentance. Repentance then
brought a cleansing, and cleansing enabled him to hear and
accept God’s call.
While the details may differ, all of these ingredients—
revelation, repentance, openness to God’s call, and
acceptance—are the foundation for every commission God
gives to us. In today’s Gospel, we see that Peter’s commission
contains similar elements. Read it carefully, and see if you can
identify them.
Just before he ascended to heaven, Jesus gave his apostles—
and all of us—something commonly referred to as the “Great
Commission” (Matthew 28:16-20). He asks us to be involved in
his mission of reaching the whole world with his message of
mercy.
Do you believe that you have a God-given role to play in this
Great Commission? Within your home, your parish, your
school, at work, or in the market, God wants you to tell people
the story of Jesus—by your words as well as by your personal
witness. He wants you to make Jesus present.
This challenge is costly because it asks us to go beyond our
comfort zones. It calls for courage and strength, discipline and
fortitude.
Did Isaiah know how to witness when he said, “Here I am;
send me”? Probably not. Did Peter and the other apostles know
how to witness when Jesus told them to go out and evangelize
the whole world? Hardly. So take heart—you’re in excellent
company!
“Here I am, Lord! Fill me, equip me, and send me.”
