Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B)

St. Mark 6.7-13: "Jesus summoned the twelve and began sending them out in pairs giving them authority over the unclean spirits. And he instructed them to take nothing for their journey except a staff - no bread, no haversack no coppers for their purses."

"I am on a mission and have become the bearer of that which another has committed to my charge" (Pope Benedict XVI).
