For 11 July 2021, Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, based on Mark 6:7–13
Jesus called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts; but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics. He said to them, ‘Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place. If any place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you, as you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them.’ So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent. They cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.

Thank you for this important reflection. This is the cure for what ails our culture today. We are sent — to bear witness to God’s love for the other in thought, word and action. Then and only then do self centered divisions evaporate.

Thanks, Jerry… I was surprised to see your name today. I do still pray for you each day, but I had no idea where you were at this time. Blessings on your work!
