Jesus prays all night and chooses the twelve Apostles

Jesus prays all night and chooses the twelve Apostles
Tuesday of the Twenty-third Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel text
Lk 6:12-19
Jesus departed to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God. When day came, he called his disciples to himself, and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named Apostles: Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John...
Gospel's Commentary
Today Jesus hasn’t slept: He has been praying all night! For the Apostles, the ones He would choose a few hours later; for all Christians ... and for us, arrived at the Church twenty centuries later. -We follow those who were first! That is why Christ also prayed for us.
