Wednesday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel text
Lk 9:1-6
Lk 9:1-6
Jesus summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. He said to them, "Take nothing for the journey..."
Gospel's Commentary
Today Jesus Christ sends the Apostles out to preach. “Today” means two thousand years ago and also “our own day”: every Christian—every baptized person—has the honor of being another Christ, that is, another apostle. And the instructions for the mission are the same: above all, we must rely on the strength of Jesus Christ.
—And the walking stick, the bag, the bread, the money, the tunics? What are you, a tourist or an apostle? The more baggage, the slower you go!
