For 25 September 2024, Wednesday of week 25 in Ordinary Time, based on Luke 9:1-6
Jesus called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons 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 your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money—not even an extra tunic. Whatever house you enter, stay there, and leave from there. Wherever they do not welcome you, as you are leaving that town shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.’ They departed and went through the villages, bringing the good news and curing diseases everywhere.

Thank you, Barbara, for breaking open the Words of the Gospel and as preachers reminding us that Jesus is the power and authority of love which he gives to us for others. I also appreciate your questions about relationships and what healing is needed in ourselves as well as our country. You have given much to reflect in these days with so much aggression and lies offered in the media.
Blessing of the Spirit in your continued preaching,
