For 24 January 2025, Memorial of Saint Francis de Sales, Bishop, Doctor, based on Mark 3:13-19
Jesus went up the mountain and called to him those whom he wanted, and they came to him. And he appointed twelve, whom he also named apostles, to be with him, and to be sent out to proclaim the message, and to have authority to cast out demons. So he appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter); James son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder); and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

Grateful! Expanding the “what if” and reminding us as friends of God, we can cast out demons “every where where people are no longer talking to one another.”

The Responsorial Psalm says today “Kindness and truth shall meet”. They meet in your preaching. Thank you. Beth
