Dear Friend in the Lord,
Discipleship of Jesus: In today’s Gospel, Jesus empowered His apostles to heal illnesses and proclaim the Good News of Salvation. In their missionary service, they were to trust in Him totally. Ponder on, “Have you experienced great joy and peace when you are able to serve and praise God with detachment from material things and people?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 9:1-6
Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.
He said to them, ‘Take nothing for the journey: neither staff, nor haversack, nor bread, nor money; and do not have a spare tunic. Whatever house you enter, stay there; and when you leave let your departure be from there. As for those who do not welcome you, when you leave their town shake the dust from your feet as evidence against them.’
So they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.
