https://www.facebook.com/catholiclink.org/ Pinterest Gmail LinkedIn Print Friendly You and I know it. We have been sent by Jesus, we have a mission and the noun that best describes what we are is: “Apostle.” The word apostle, from the Greek apostello, “to send,” “to serve,” has a very general etymological meaning. It refers to a person who […]
