he gave the name Boanerges, which means ‘men of thunder’; Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son
of Alpheus, Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.
REFLECTION:
The ministry is becoming big for one man alone. So Jesus called His disciples and from
them selected the Twelve who would be His closest collaborators. He would share with them the burden
of spreading the good news. Collaboration is a good way to expand the reach of the ministry. Though it is
hard, that is the only way to minister to so many people. Jesus knew that with Him alone, He could only reach
to as many people. But with others, the ministry will expand. And so, the Son of God, the most powerful
who can effect anything He wants welcomed human collaborators to Help Him in His task.
