Isaiah 66: 10-14c
Psalm 66: 1-7, 16, 20
Galations 6: 14-18
Luke 10: 1-12, 17-20Your peace will rest on that person.
Jesus is sending his disciples out on mission, but notice the attitude he expects of them: dependence on the receptiveness of others, offering the peace and message of God, but not forcing it on anyone. No arm-twisting, no glaring posters on the street-corners, no strategy other than peaceful interaction and the modest confidence that comes from understanding that God's really the one in charge.
A popular quote usually attributed to St. Francis of Assisi is a good guide for how we might go about evangelization: "Preach the Gospel at all times; if necessary, use words."
- What have you learned about Jesus from someone in your daily life this week? (TV, radio, internet, twitter doesn't count!)
- What do you think you might have taught someone about Christianity by your demeanor and actions today?
Happy 4th of July! There will be no catechumenate session this weekend.
