Gospel Reading from Mass: May 24, 2009

Mark 16:15-20 -- He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

Observation Questions:
• What command did Jesus give the disciples?
• What happens to the person who believes? The one who does not believe?
• What kind of signs did Jesus talk about?
• What happened after Jesus finished speaking with his disciples?
• What did the disciples do after Jesus’ ascension?

Application Questions:
• What does it mean to believe?
• According to these verses, when should a person be baptized?
• Why does Jesus tell them about signs that accompany the believers?
• The disciples responded to Jesus directions by going out to preach about Jesus everywhere. How do you respond to Jesus?
