Saints Timothy and Titus, Bishops
Friday of week 3 in Ordinary Time
Gospel – Luke 10:1-9
“Carry no purse, no haversack, no sandals”. In the missionary journey there is no need of any physical necessities. Carry no purse, no haversack, no sandals, so what is there to carry? There is nothing to carry but the faith in the Lord who is assisting us. This statement is always undermined. The missionary spirit rests in completely giving up everything and in completely depending on providence for everything. This is what is important. Completely giving up and completely depending on. This is where we often make conditions for our missionary activities. We are not ready to completely give up and we are not ready to completely depend on the providence of God. But that is where the Grace of God works. But that seems not realistic, but our work is not in the realm of realistic but it’s in the divine realm. Let’s reflect: The more you can give up your earthly assurances, the more you can be sure of divine assistance in your mission of evangelization.
