Wednesday of week 25 in Ordinary Time
Gospel – Luke 9:1-6
“Take nothing for the journey”. Because it’s a journey of Grace. The journey to proclaim the Good News is a journey of Grace. It is neither your staff nor haversack that will give you the sufficient support for your mission. It will be the Grace that will make the difference. The money or the spare tunic are not the adapt resources for the mission of proclaiming the Kingdom of God. It’s the Grace of God. It is the Grace which you received from Jesus Christ. It’s your personal relationship with Jesus that gave you this Grace. We all have the same mission as baptized faithful. We are called to proclaim the Good News, wherever we have. Don’t think about anything else. Don’t focus on anything else—simply trust in God’s grace and nurture your relationship with Jesus. Then you will be a great missionary. Let’s reflect: In proclaiming the Good News, do I trust in the Grace, or do I rely on other things?
