For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Opening Prayer:\u00a0<\/b>Lord, help me to open my heart to understand more deeply who you are as I spend this time in prayer.<b><br \/><br \/>Encountering Christ:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b>Spiritual Rock Stars:\u00a0<\/b>Sts. Peter and Paul are arguably the most important and influential men in the Church and the world, one our first pope, and the other an apostle to the Gentiles. What made them great was not their talent, personalities, or intelligence. They were leaders and saints because they cooperated with the Holy Spirit to do the will of the Lord. This passage gives us an early example of Peter\u2019s sensitivity to the Spirit. He declared Jesus was the son of God, and Jesus called him \u201cblessed,\u201d adding, \u201cFlesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.\u201d We need not have a superior intelligence or a winning personality to become a saint. We will be holy to the degree we cooperate with the Holy Spirit in fulfilling God\u2019s will for our lives.<br \/><br \/><\/span><b><\/b><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Our Story of Conversion:\u00a0<\/b>In these verses, we are introduced to Peter, the Rock. No longer Simon, Peter is now the foundation of the new Church and the keeper of the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. We can imagine Peter\u2019s awe at having had such a powerful experience of the Spirit, his surprise at the words of Jesus\u2019 anointing, and perhaps a bit of trepidation at the responsibility to bind and loose, if he even understood it at that moment. Peter\u2019s whole ministry was ahead of him, and he likely felt zealous and empowered. We can presume so, because a few verses later Peter was rebuked by Jesus when he boldly objected to the prediction of Jesus\u2019 Passion (cf. Mt 16:22-23). In today\u2019s second reading we heard Paul speaking toward the end of his ministry about being \u201cpoured out like a libation\u201d (2 Tim 4:6). Paul was looking back over his life\u2019s work, affirming that \u201cthe Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that through me the proclamation might be completed and all the Gentiles might hear it\u201d (2 Tim 4:17). Their story of their journey from obscurity to sainthood is our story too. Like Peter and Paul, we one day awoke to the Spirit-filled realization that we are personally, unconditionally loved by God. Over time, we exchanged our initial zealousness for a faithful determination to accomplish our unique, unrepeatable mission. We are strengthened by prayer, the sacraments, and our community of believers, until one day we say, like St. Paul, \u201cI have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith\u201d (2 Tim 4:7). As we work day after day in the Church\u2019s field hospital (cf. Pope Francis, February 5, 2015), may we draw consolation from these words of St. Paul: \u201cFrom now on the crown of righteousness awaits me, which the Lord, the just judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but to all who have longed for his appearance\u201d (2 Tim 4:8).<br \/><br \/><\/span><b><\/b><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The Papacy:\u00a0<\/b>Jesus gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven and the power to bind and loose. With these few words, Jesus revealed much about the future Roman Catholic Church. According to the\u00a0<i>Catechism<\/i>\u00a0553, \u201cThe \u2018power of the keys\u2019 designates authority to govern the house of God, which is the Church. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, confirmed this mandate after his Resurrection: \u2018Feed my sheep.\u2019 The power to \u2018bind and loose\u2019 connotes the authority to absolve sins, to pronounce doctrinal judgments, and to make disciplinary decisions in the Church. Jesus entrusted this authority to the Church through the ministry of the Apostles and in particular through the ministry of Peter, the only one to whom he specifically entrusted the keys of the Kingdom.\u201d Since these words were spoken by Jesus, there has been an unbroken succession of popes leading our Church. We pray for our Holy Father at every Mass and, out of love for the Church, we also include his intentions in our personal prayer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Conversing with Christ:<\/b>\u00a0Lord, you founded the Church on Peter the Rock and named Paul Apostle to the Gentiles.

It was written by a Jew, a former tax collector, to his fellow Jews, about the new Kingdom. Many modern readers dislike Matthew\u2019s Gospel because of its hard sayings, like the one found in today\u2019s reading. In this part of the Gospel, Jesus had not yet called apart his Twelve Apostles. Some newcomers had approached Jesus, and Jesus had some harsh sayings for them. Following him wasn\u2019t easy then, and it isn\u2019t easy now. Our relationship with Jesus must be our highest priority in life\u2014higher than even the good priorities that are part of caring for our human family. Of course, we know that the burial of the dead is a corporal work of mercy (cf. Tob 1:16-18); it honors the children of God who are temples of the Holy Spirit (CCC 2300). Yet, the pursuit of divine holiness trumps even the legitimate wishes of our human family. While this scenario may seem a bit extreme, and we are called to carefully discern God\u2019s will, the point is clear: loving God always comes first. \u201cLove\u2026 and do what you will,\u201d said St. Augustine. If love is our\u00a0<i>modus operandi<\/i>, God takes care of the details.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Hard Teachings:<\/b>\u00a0Christ is Our Lord, and as Lord he demands the very best for his followers. Christ is a passionate lover and only demands what he knows we need. Flannery O\u2019Connor once said: \u201cTo the hard of hearing, you must shout,\u201d which is one reason why some of her writings are difficult to digest. Jesus, at times, seemed to shout into our world, but it was necessary because we are all somewhat deaf due to original sin. \u201cOriginal sin entails captivity under the power of him who thenceforth had the power of death, that is, the devil. Ignorance of the fact that man has a wounded nature inclined to evil gives rise to serious errors of education, politics, social action, and morals\u201d (CCC 407). Yet, Christ\u2019s demands are always signs that he loves us\u2026 even more than life itself.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>A Pure Heart:\u00a0<\/b>Many people in Jesus\u2019 day misinterpreted obedience to the moral law as a performance, an external behavior, and they obeyed it to the letter. Yet Jesus as God demands more, not less, than the strict observances of the law. God wants our hearts\u2014our pure hearts. God is a lover, not a slave driver. God wants all of us, our whole person, not just certain behaviors; he wants our whole selves. But the spiritual physics of giving him our all is that he gives it back to us and then some. God is always about the more. \u201cI came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly\u201d (Jn 10:10).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Conversing with Christ:<\/b>\u00a0Lord, help me today to make sure that what I say and do always increases my love for you and for our Father.

Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by waves; but he was asleep. They came and woke him, saying, \u201cLord, save us!\u00a0We are perishing!\u201d He said to them, \u201cWhy are you terrified, O you of little faith?\u201d Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm. The men were amazed and said, \u201cWhat sort of man is this, whom even the winds and the sea obey?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>Opening Prayer:<\/b>\u00a0Lord, I come to you today to give you thanks for all the blessings in my life. Please help me to remember that, no matter how dark this life gets for me, you are always in my boat and always ready to restore calm in my heart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Encountering Christ:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>In the Darkest Times, Pray:<\/b>\u00a0\u201cLord, save us! We are perishing!\u201d comes from Psalm 130 and is a\u00a0<i>de profundis<\/i>\u00a0prayer: \u201cOut of the depths I cry to you, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications\u201d (v. 1-2). Psalm 130 is the official prayer of the Church for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. It is the prayer offered at the darkest times of our lives, when we feel completely powerless to help ourselves. Jesus sleeping in the midst of a storm is a very powerful image of God\u2019s sovereignty over even the darkest times in our lives. St. Therese of Lisieux used to meditate on this passage in times of inner confusion or darkness. Yet she wouldn\u2019t wake the Lord. For her, it was enough just to sit beside him as he slept.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Yet You Are There:<\/b>\u00a0Notice that Jesus said, \u201cO you of little faith.\u201d These men had faith, but it was just too little. Their faith, like ours, grows only when it is tested. The Father knows what we need even before we ask. Jesus is always with the Father, and that reality is the key to peace in the storms of life. Do we believe that the Father will not try us beyond our strength? Do we believe that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains? Lord, please increase our faith.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>The Power of Jesus:<\/b>\u00a0Just before this passage, in Matthew 8, Jesus cleansed a leper, healed a centurion\u2019s servant, and healed many at the house of Peter. He was truly a physical healer. Here, we also saw his power over nature; even the winds and the seas obeyed him. Yet, all these healings pale in comparison to his power to heal us from the worst affliction of all and the only one that matters: sin. Jesus came to take away sin by becoming sin and crucifying it on the cross, in his very person. He paid a price we couldn\u2019t pay for our sins that he didn\u2019t commit. There is no greater love\u2014and no greater power\u2014than the power of Jesus Christ, the only son of God. The Gospels of Mark (4) and Luke (8) also tell their version of this calming of the storm at sea. In his famous painting of \u201cThe Storm on the Sea of Galilee,\u201d Rembrandt depicted this scene in all its terror. When we imagine ourselves in the scene, how do we react?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Conversing with Christ:\u00a0<\/b>Lord, I know you are with me in all the storms of my life. I know that you will never leave me orphaned. Help me to cry out to you in desperate times. Lord, I believe. Increase my faith.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Resolution:<\/b>\u00a0Lord, today by your grace I will pray with Psalm 130 and, if possible, commit it to memory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>For Further Reflection:<\/b>\u00a0View the famous Rembrandt painting of \u201cThe Storm on the Sea of Galilee\u201d online and ponder Jesus always being in the boat of your soul.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Janet Scanlan is a lifelong Catholic, wife, mother, and grandmother, who is passionate about helping people know and live the love of Christ through marriage ministry, evangelization, writing, and work as a spiritual director.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-029c734 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"029c734\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1dfddd6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"1dfddd6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"wednesday\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31f6685 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"31f6685\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-636be69 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"636be69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">July 2, 2025 \u2013 The Value of the Salvation of One Person<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7894725 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7894725\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/7-02.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/7-02.png 900w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/7-02-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/7-02-768x512.png 768w\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-173913 lazyload\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/7-02.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-173913\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/7-02.png 900w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/7-02-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/7-02-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\"><\/noscript>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd0b0dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fd0b0dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<iframe class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/player.rss.com\/rcdailymeditations\/2078830?theme=light\"  width=\"100%\" height=\"202px\" title=\"July 2, 2025 - The Value of the Salvation of One P\" frameBorder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

They were so savage that no one could travel by that road. They cried out, \u201cWhat have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?\u201d Some distance away a herd of many swine was feeding. The demons pleaded with him, \u201cIf you drive us out, send us into the herd of swine.\u201d And he said to them, \u201cGo then!\u201d They came out and entered the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea where they drowned. The swineherds ran away, and when they came to the town they reported everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs. Thereupon the whole town came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him they begged him to leave their district.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Opening Prayer:\u00a0<\/b>My Jesus, I so often find myself divided, giving more importance to things of this world than to the salvation of others or even the good of my own soul.

Their condition was serious, if not fatal, but isn\u2019t this our reality anytime we allow sin into our life? When a soul drifts from God it grows distant, cold to God, and can even become aggressive out of fear or hatred. In their exchange with Jesus, the souls in this passage did all of the talking out of extreme agitation. Jesus simply looked at them unafraid and in control. Jesus is always loving, patient, and attentive to our pleadings, and showers his mercy upon us when we desire to be freed from the bondage of sin.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Jesus Spoke:\u00a0<\/b>\u201cGo then!\u201d Jesus hadn\u2019t spoken a word until now, but the demoniacs knew he would expel them at some point because perfect good always prevails over evil. Jesus didn\u2019t want them to be slaves to sin, nor does he want this for us. Jesus wants us to be free to truly follow him and love what is good, true, and beautiful as he created it. It\u2019s our responsibility to surrender to God, confess, and make reparation whenever we realize we\u2019ve given into sin.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>They Banished Jesus:\u00a0<\/b>\u201cThey begged him to leave their district.\u201d People sometimes don\u2019t want the good of others, especially if it requires sacrificing their own comfort or security. The people in this district weren\u2019t happy for the demoniacs who had been cured. Rather, they were afraid and concerned with the revenue they lost when Jesus cast the devils into their swine. We should beware of growing tepid in our faith and distant from Jesus lest we lose a sense of the seriousness of sin and its consequences.

So the other disciples said to him, \u201cWe have seen the Lord.\u201d But he said to them, \u201cUnless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nail marks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.\u201d Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, \u201cPeace be with you.\u201d Then he said to Thomas, \u201cPut your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.\u201d Thomas answered and said to him, \u201cMy Lord and my God!\u201d Jesus said to him, \u201cHave you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Opening Prayer:<\/b>\u00a0Lord Jesus, I believe in you!

Thomas was graced with an appearance from Jesus himself, and the invitation to put his finger into Jesus\u2019 wounded side. In this passage, Jesus proved that he will do whatever it takes to help us overcome our doubts. Doubts are a normal part of being human, but also an open door to something more for those who strive to reach out and put their finger into Jesus\u2019 open wounds.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>My Lord and My God!:\u00a0<\/b>Thomas went from doubt to a tremendous proclamation of faith! For Thomas, Jesus was no longer simply the rabboni or master. He was the incarnate God! Can we find a greater profession of faith in the Scriptures? Thomas reminds us that faith is not only a gift, but also a human act. Where doubt surfaces, let us wrestle with God, like Jacob in the Old Testament, until we receive the invitation to touch Jesus and discover that he is truly present. When grace begins to bless our wrestling, faith becomes a living testimony of the God who first reached out to us. The words and doctrine that we articulate in the Creed suddenly take on flesh, and our hearts perceive truth differently than before.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Another Thomas:<\/b>\u00a0St. Thomas Aquinas lived in the thirteenth century. He is considered a giant of the faith who attempted a systematic explanation of theology in his\u00a0<i>Summa Theologica<\/i>. Take comfort in the testimony of these two Thomases. Thomas the Apostle walked with Jesus in his public ministry and he still doubted. But the Lord came to strengthen his faith. St. Thomas Aquinas labored for years on his work for the Lord and after one mystical experience, one touch of Christ, realized that his great labor paled in comparison with \u201cmy Lord and my God!\u201d Let us strive to live faith while also trusting that the Lord will present himself when, where, and as he wants.

He said to him, \u201cFollow me.\u201d And he got up and followed him. While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples. The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, \u201cWhy does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?\u201d He heard this and said, \u201cThose who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. Go and learn the meaning of the words,\u00a0<i>I desire mercy, not sacrifice<\/i>. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Opening Prayer:\u00a0<\/b>Lord, you nourish me with your words in Scripture, and with your body when I answer your invitation to come to your banquet table. Never stop calling me to follow you, and give me the grace to walk in your ways, with the help of your Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Encountering Christ:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Seeing a Man:<\/b>\u00a0When the penetrating gaze of Jesus fell upon Matthew, the Lord saw a man. Instead of perceiving Matthew as the object of derision for the role he played in society, Jesus saw the man first and foremost as a reflection of himself, created in his image and likeness. Man\u2019s first sin in the garden had surely tarnished this reflection, but neither that original sin, nor any subsequent sin committed by this particular man, diminished the incredible dignity that Matthew enjoyed as a child of God. Matthew had used his free will, granted by our loving God and Father, to side with the Roman authorities against the Jews, the chosen people into which he was born. But Our Lord also gave him, and gives us, a chance to turn his back on his former life and follow Christ, perfecting that will. \u201cBy free will one shapes one\u2019s own life. Human freedom is a force for growth and maturity in truth and goodness; it attains its perfection when directed toward God, our beatitude\u201d (CCC 1731).<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Seeing a Problem:<\/b>\u00a0Jesus\u2019 invitation to Matthew, a seemingly simple \u201cFollow me,\u201d was anything but simple. Adding the despised tax collector to his band of followers would have immediately sowed discord among the rest of the disciples. Many of them would surely see a problem with this new addition. We can imagine what they might have been thinking, or even declaring aloud: \u201cLord, not him!\u201d Today, we may be preparing for our weekend and hoping to get together with family or friends. How will we respond if we find a stranger in our company? What if this stranger has a reputation? On one hand, Jesus does tell us to be \u201cshrewd as serpents,\u201d but he also implores us to be \u201csimple as doves\u201d (Mt 10:16). Furthermore, although we must always speak the truth in charity regarding behaviors we witness, Scripture frequently urges us not to judge others, leaving judgment to Our Lord (cf. Mt 7:1, Lk 6:37, and Rom 2:1-2).<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>The Master\u2019s Plan:<\/b>\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">Jesus knew exactly what he was doing when he called Matthew. His reasons soon became quite clear, at the \u201cbreaking of bread\u201d that evening. The religious authorities, convinced of their superiority, took the opportunity to test Our Lord. Placing themselves above the sinners present at the dinner, they endeavored to have Jesus admit that the worth of the individual, and thus the degree to which the individual is worthy of attention, is somehow related to their behavior. They failed to acknowledge that they had misunderstood the God of Israel, the object of their intense study. They should, instead, have been studying this man right in front of them to witness how he was fulfilling the law. Jesus, always the teacher, reminded them, and reminds us, how we can draw near to God: \u201cI desire mercy, not sacrifice.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Conversing with Christ:<\/b>\u00a0Jesus, thank you for calling people of all kinds to follow you, especially those to whom I can relate. You show me with your example that you not only desire mercy, but you freely extend mercy to sinners who return to you.

The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. No one patches an old cloak with a piece of unshrunken cloth, for its fullness pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse. People do not put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, and the skins are ruined. Rather, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Opening Prayer:\u00a0<\/b>Lord, let me better understand your word during this time of prayer. I want to be like the wedding guests who are in the presence of the bridegroom, unable to mourn because of intimacy with you. You ask me to detach myself from the things of this world that keep me from you; enlighten me to know what these things are, and strengthen me to give them up, assured of the hope of something infinitely better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Encountering Christ:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>This One Is Different:\u00a0<\/b>Both John the Baptist and Jesus were accompanied by groups of men who were edified by their words and deeds. These people bore the label \u201cdisciple,\u201d from the Latin word meaning student, learner, or follower. Those who followed John would have learned from their teacher about certain differences between him and Jesus, particularly in stature: \u201cI am baptizing you with water, but one mightier than I is coming. I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals. He will baptize you with the holy Spirit and fire\u201d (Lk 3:16). These disciples, some of whom would have seen a dove land on the newly baptized Jesus, and heard a voice from Heaven saying, \u201cThis is my beloved son\u201d (Mt 3:16-17), had not yet discovered the most profound difference between these two teachers, one of essence, which John had discerned from his first encounter with the divine Jesus\u2014causing him to leap in St. Elizabeth\u2019s womb (cf. Lk 1:41).<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>The Bridegroom Is with Us:<\/b>\u00a0Clear differences also existed between the practices of the two bands of disciples. For instance, one group often observed a fast and the other did not. Without a doubt, each teacher preached of the need for repentance, which can be manifested in many ways. \u201cScripture and the Fathers insist above all on three forms, fasting, prayer, and almsgiving, which express conversion in relation to oneself, to God, and to others\u201d (CCC 1434). Jesus\u2019 disciples did not fast in the presence of \u201cthe bridegroom,\u201d the continual source for their joy. Today, while we have access to the bridegroom in the Eucharist, we also long for that continual union with him in joy for all eternity. St. John of the Cross once said that we cannot rise up to God if we are bound to the things of this world, reminding us that fasting from things we enjoy is a preparation for Heaven.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>New Wine, Fresh Skins:<\/b>\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">Another preparation for Heaven, of course, is to reconcile with God while here on earth, by confessing our sins to \u201cthe bridegroom\u201d in humble contrition. With souls absolved of sin, we, like new wineskins, can more effectively receive the \u201cnew wine\u201d that Christ has in store for us, an outpouring of his grace. If we wonder what beautiful gifts a pure soul might accept from the Lord, we can look to our Blessed Mother. The Immaculate One, preserved from the stain of sin from the moment of her conception, was the epitome of a \u201cnew wineskin.\u201d It was to this beautiful earthen vessel that the Angel Gabriel was able to proclaim \u201cHail, full of grace,\u201d seeking her fiat to become the bride of the Holy Spirit, and set in motion God\u2019s plan of salvation. May we also cooperate with God\u2019s plan, keeping our souls clean and ready to accept God\u2019s grace with deep gratitude.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Conversing with Christ:<\/b>\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">I thank you, Lord, for your invitation to me to enter into prayer with you. You are the bridegroom who is always attentive to his bride, the Church, into which you adopted me at my baptism. Let me gratefully appreciate the grace you poured out on that day and each time I return to you in your sacraments.

He said to them, \u201cThe harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, \u2018Peace to this household.\u2019 If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another. Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, \u2018The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.\u2019 Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you, go out into the streets and say, \u2018The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you.\u2019 Yet know this: the Kingdom of God is at hand. I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than for that town.\u201d The seventy-two returned rejoicing, and said, \u201cLord, even the demons are subject to us because of your name.\u201d Jesus said, \u201cI have observed Satan fall like lightning from the sky. Behold, I have given you the power to \u2018tread upon serpents\u2019 and scorpions and upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice because your names are written in Heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Opening Prayer:\u00a0<\/b>Lord, let me ponder deeply these words of Scripture and have them enter both my mind and my heart. Grant me the grace to be courageous in responding to your call, certain that you protect your lambs, especially when we are sent out among wolves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Encountering Christ:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Appointed as Emissaries:<\/b>\u00a0Thirty-six pairs of the Lord\u2019s followers were sent to multiply the impact of John the Baptist, who had previously been singularly called by God the Father to \u201cPrepare the way of the Lord\u201d (Mk 1:3). Jesus had been cultivating quite a following, and he assessed that many of them were ready to be his hands, feet, and voice in the world. Jesus stated that their destinations were all places he intended to go. We don\u2019t know from the historical record whether Jesus himself ever made the trek to each of these towns. Perhaps this would prove unnecessary, as Christ was spiritually making these visits through his disciples. These emissaries effectively served as \u201cChrist\u2019s body,\u201d of which St. Paul would later speak (cf. 1 Cor 12:27). We rejoice in the hope that these members of Christ\u2019s body are now part of the \u201ccloud of witnesses\u201d that prays for those who continue this evangelizing work.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>The Abundant Harvest:<\/b>\u00a0Jesus assured his disciples that the mission fields into which they would travel were ripe for a harvest; many hearts would be thirsting to be exposed to the Gospel message of mercy, and many bodies and souls would be yearning to be healed. If anything, the mission fields have only further ripened over the years. In 1990, St. John Paul II wrote in\u00a0<i>Redemptoris Missio<\/i>: \u201cThe number of those who do not know Christ and do not belong to the Church is constantly on the increase. Indeed, since the end of the Council it has almost doubled. When we consider this immense portion of humanity which is loved by the Father and for whom he sent his Son, the urgency of the Church\u2019s mission is obvious.\u201d May we have the grace and courage to be an effective Christian witness in our home and in our workplace, overcoming any fear of being a sheep among wolves.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>The Dearth of Laborers:<\/b>\u00a0When Jesus told the seventy-two that the \u201claborers are few,\u201d he instructed them to \u201cask the master of the harvest to send out laborers\u201d (Mt 9:37-38). Prayers for vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life continue to be sorely needed in all parts of our modern world, and some of the mission fields that need the most urgent attention are areas that saw some of the earliest spread of Christianity. As a response to this urgent need for laborers, and two years before writing\u00a0<i>Redemptoris Missio<\/i>, St. John Paul II implored all lay Catholics to play their part in revealing Christ\u2019s love to those who haven\u2019t yet had a meaningful encounter with the Word made flesh. His Apostolic Exhortation entitled\u00a0<i>Christifideles Laici<\/i>\u00a0states: \u201c<i>You go too<\/i>. The call is a concern not only of pastors, clergy, and men and women religious. The call is addressed to everyone: lay people as well are personally called by the Lord, from whom they receive a mission on behalf of the Church and the world. In preaching to the people, St. Gregory the Great recalled this fact and commented on the parable of the laborers in the vineyard: \u2018Keep watch over your manner of life, dear people, and make sure that you are indeed the Lord\u2019s laborers. Each person should take into account what he does and consider if he is laboring in the vineyard of the Lord.\u2019\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Conversing with Christ:<\/b>\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">Lord, I want to be your voice in this hungry and thirsty world as a lay person, and I pray that more men and women will hear your call to the priesthood and consecrated life. By your grace, may I be an effective witness to my family members, neighbors, and those in my social circle with my words and example.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Resolution:<\/b>\u00a0Lord, today by your grace I will pray for vocations with a prayer I know, or with this one: \u201cLord Jesus, eternal Shepherd, in your kindness look with mercy on your beloved flock. We cry out to you as orphans: Lord, grant us vocations! Call many of our young people to be holy priests and consecrated men and women. We ask you this through the intercession of Mary, your tender, holy Mother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><br \/><b>For Further Reflection:<\/b>\u00a0Read article 2 of Pope Francis\u2019s\u00a0<i>Gaudete et Exsultate<\/i>, reflecting on that \u201ccloud of witnesses\u201d that supports us in our evangelizing efforts: \u201cThe saints now in God\u2019s presence preserve their bonds of love and communion with us. The Book of Revelation attests to this when it speaks of the intercession of the martyrs: \u2018I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne; they cried out with a loud voice, \u201cO sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long will it be before you judge?\u201d\u2018 (6:9-10). Each of us can say: \u2018Surrounded, led and guided by the friends of God\u2026 I do not have to carry alone what, in truth, I could never carry alone.
