DAILY READING

Luke 9:1-6
This weekend’s reading: Malachi 3:1-4

One day Jesus called together his twelve disciples and gave them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all diseases. Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. “Take nothing for your journey,” he instructed them. “Don’t take a walking stick, a traveler’s bag, food, money, or even a change of clothes. Wherever you go, stay in the same house until you leave town. And if a town refuses to welcome you, shake its dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people to their fate.”

So they began their circuit of the villages, preaching the Good News and healing the sick.

FIELD NOTES

Read this over and over.  Go and be.  Go and do.  As Saint Francis said, “Preach the Gospel at all times. If necessary, use words.”  Amen.
