Jesus sends his disciples, two by two, to announce the Gospel. Two by two! Imagine the possible scenario: Impulsive Peter with doubting Thomas; would-be traitor Judas Iscariot with silent and contemplative Judas Thaddeus; Simon the Zealot with Bartholomew the guileless! We can only imagine how each of them adjusted to the character and style of the other. Perhaps, besides the task of preaching the Gospel, Jesus wanted them to learn to live the Gospel as well, learning to be a community. For, being Christian is all and only about being a community of brothers and sisters under one God who is also a community. As we fittingly remember Timothy and Titus together today, we ask them to each us how to eitness to the Gospel by being a community.
