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\"><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. All the saints of God are there to protect me, to sustain me and to carry me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">Andrew Rawicki and his wife JoAnna live in Irving, Texas, near eight of their ten grandchildren.

A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, \u201cIf only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured.\u201d Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, \u201cCourage, daughter! Your faith has saved you.\u201d And from that hour the woman was cured. When Jesus arrived at the official\u2019s house and saw the flute players and the crowd who were making a commotion, he said, \u201cGo away! The girl is not dead but sleeping.\u201d And they ridiculed him. When the crowd was put out, he came and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose. And news of this spread throughout all that land.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Opening Prayer:\u00a0<\/b>Lord Jesus, there is never a time I do not require your healing touch. My body and soul long for the perfect health to which only you can restore me.\u00a0Help me to have the faith to reach for even the tassel of your cloak, to know that even a moment in your presence in the Most Blessed Sacrament can be a healing encounter, every single day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Encountering Christ:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Faith Revealed in Humility:\u00a0<\/b>The Roman official understood the custom when approaching someone in authority.\u00a0He knelt down before Jesus and asked boldly for a miracle, for his daughter\u2019s very life to be restored.\u00a0Likewise, the suffering woman was willing to endure the shame of appearing in public in her condition on the small chance that she might get close enough to Jesus for a healing encounter.\u00a0Like these two believers, we need to approach Jesus with our pride pushed aside.\u00a0If we truly want him to heal us, we must get beyond the embarrassment of our past sins and abandon the false facade we put on in front of the world.\u00a0Jesus knows how sick we are!\u00a0He will heal us if we only ask.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Jesus Knows Our Continuing Needs:\u00a0<\/b>Jesus did not simply heal the sick and leave them be.\u00a0Notice what he said to the cured woman: \u201cCourage!\u201d He knew that her belief in him, and the witness of her renewed health would require her to be bold in her faith and in her testimony. He would accompany her for the rest of her life, making his dwelling with her (cf. Jn 14:23) if she would allow it. Jesus led the revived little girl \u201cby the hand,\u201d offering her guidance even after the crisis had passed.\u00a0Jesus is \u201cEmmanuel,\u201d God with us.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Has Everyone Heard But Us?:\u00a0<\/b>The Bible tells of many encounters between Jesus and those who were physically ill or spiritually tormented; again and again, the sick were healed by his touch, his presence, his voice. What, then, explains our own reluctance to seek his aid when we are sick in body, mind, or soul? He is there waiting for us.\u00a0We may not need a dramatic encounter, a lightning strike, or a violent wind\u2014just the quiet presence of the Lord with us in prayer, in the Blessed Sacrament, in thoughtful reflection on his word. Why do we hold back?\u00a0Do we prefer to remain \u201csick\u201d because we don\u2019t have the courage to witness to the healing? Or, like the crowds outside the Roman official\u2019s home, are we already mourning for what we think is lost?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Conversing with Christ:\u00a0<\/b>Lord, you alone are the healer our world seeks.\u00a0Help me to grow in faith that I may reach out, even for just your cloak, when I am in need of healing.

The crowds were amazed and said, \u201cNothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.\u201d But the Pharisees said, \u201cHe drives out demons by the prince of demons.\u201d\u00a0Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, \u201cThe harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Opening Prayer:\u00a0<\/b>Jesus, have mercy on me. Too often, I have wandered, like a sheep, away from your truth. If it is your will to send me out as a laborer, grant me the humility to seek always your ways and your wisdom, that others may, through me, be guided back to you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Encountering Christ:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Are We the Bringer or the One Brought?:<\/b>\u00a0The demons had taken away the possessed man\u2019s very ability to speak.\u00a0It is only because he was\u00a0<i>brought\u00a0<\/i>to Jesus, St. Matthew\u2019s Gospel recounts, that he could be healed, and could then speak for himself. Do we (gently) bring to Jesus those who cannot even speak his name?\u00a0Do we guide those around us toward an encounter with the living God of love? Or, perhaps, we are, or were, like the mute man in the story, the one brought to Jesus for restoration. In either circumstance, we should praise Jesus. \u201cI will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall be always in my mouth\u201d (Ps 34:2). With the praise of Jesus on our lips we will be powerful evangelizers, sons and daughters with hearts full of gratitude for all Jesus does for us.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Jesus Is Powerful, Yet He Wants Our Assistance:\u00a0<\/b>Jesus didn\u2019t just heal a little bit, here and there. The Gospel reminds us he went to \u201call the towns and villages,\u201d preaching the Good News, healing the sick, and driving out demons. But his work was not completed alone. Crowds began to gather, and Jesus asked his followers for their help.\u00a0The \u201charvest\u201d (of souls) was abundant, but the \u201claborers\u201d were few, even in Jesus\u2019 time. Later, as the infant Church was growing, the Apostles appointed the first deacons to help them with the ministry (cf. Acts 6:1-15). How do we assist him in our life?\u00a0Are we open to his call and obedient to his instructions, or do we let worldly cares or technological distractions drown out his voice?<br \/><br \/><b><\/b><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>How Often Do We Wander?:\u00a0<\/b>Jesus saw the crowds and was \u201cmoved with pity\u201d for these \u201csheep without a shepherd.\u201d\u00a0Our urbanized modern world may not provide us with many encounters with sheep, but those who heard this Gospel before around 1940 had experienced what sheep can be\u2014aimless, looking only for the next sweet patch of grass, dispersing widely when they sense a threat. Like sheep, we sometimes spend our energy on things outside of God\u2019s will. Or we let others (who may be more lost than we are) lead us astray. When our faith is threatened, we run. Jesus, then and now, wants us to be led by him and by his Church to the truth and love that he has in store for us.\u00a0He will always be our Good Shepherd. We need only turn to him and be reconciled.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Conversing with Christ:\u00a0<\/b>Lord, there are times when I can\u2019t even articulate what I desire from you: your strength, your mercy, your love.\u00a0In those times, allow me to be led to you.

As you go, make this proclamation: \u2018The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Opening Prayer:<\/b>\u00a0Lord, place in my heart the fervent desire to be one of your faithful disciples. Allow me, by faith, to walk with you, learn from you, pray with you, and be your companion. Place in me the desire to do your work, wherever that work needs to be done: in my home, in my workplace, in my daily routines, and in encounters with your \u201clost sheep.\u201d\u00a0Bless and protect all your disciples with your love. Amen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Encountering Christ:<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Honor Roll:\u00a0<\/b>In the Gospel read yesterday, Jesus said he would need \u201cworkers\u201d for the \u201charvest.\u201d\u00a0Today, we see the beginnings of the early Church, those first workers\u2014the disciples listed by name. We should aspire to see our name included on that sacred roll call!\u00a0Does the world appear different today than the world surrounding those first disciples, two thousand years ago?\u00a0Yes.\u00a0Are the challenges to the faith very different? Not really.\u00a0Then as now, there were pagans (who worshiped false gods) and Samaritans (who differed with the Jews on a number of religious issues). But Jesus advised his disciples, and advises us, to go first to those who are closest. For the disciples, that meant the \u201clost sheep of Israel.\u201d\u00a0For us, that means our families, our friends, our neighbors.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>We Do Not Go Alone:<\/b>\u00a0Notice among the roster that there were brothers and men from several walks of life. Jesus united these disciples, in spite of their varied backgrounds, or perhaps\u00a0<i>because<\/i>\u00a0of their varied backgrounds, with a common purpose.\u00a0That purpose was nothing more nor less than the proclamation of the Gospel. Like the disciples, we should seek out the companionship of other faithful souls to sustain us on our journey. If we have already found mission partners, we thank God for them.\u00a0If we are still seeking, we take that request to the Lord in prayer.\u00a0As he provided for his disciples, so he will provide for us.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>The Kingdom Is at Hand:\u00a0<\/b>Think of objects that, in our daily lives, we cannot be without. Cell phone? Keys? Water? Rarely would we leave our homes without these objects. Jesus tells his disciples that the Kingdom of Heaven\u2014eternity with the Lord\u2014is\u00a0<i>at hand<\/i>.\u00a0It is right here, right now.\u00a0Eternity does not begin when we leave this life\u2014it has already begun, and Jesus longs to be a part of every moment of our eternal lives. \u201cBegin now to be what you will be hereafter\u201d (St. Jerome).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Conversing with Christ:\u00a0<\/b>Lord, quiet my noisy life that I might hear your call to me.\u00a0Am I ready to be your disciple?\u00a0What work do you have for me to do?\u00a0Who will accompany me? Are there saints who have paved the way for me?\u00a0Increase in me a devotion to all your disciples, those heroes of the faith who can lead me to you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Resolution:<\/b>\u00a0Lord, by your grace, I will strive to seek out the \u201clost sheep.\u201d\u00a0I will offer them your Kingdom, reminding them that you are always near.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>For Further Reflection:\u00a0<\/b>St. John of the Cross reminds us of Jesus\u2019 words from the Gospel of Luke: \u201c\u2018Whoever does not renounce all that the will possesses, cannot be my disciple.\u2019 This statement is clear, for the doctrine that the Son of Man came to teach is contempt for all things so that we may receive the gift of God\u2019s Spirit. As long as people fail to rid themselves of these possessions, they are incapable of receiving God\u2019s Spirit in pure transformation.\u201d What do you hold \u201cat hand\u201d?\u00a0Is it the Kingdom of Heaven?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Dorothy Warner is a writer living in the Washington, D.C., area.

Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give. Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts; no sack for the journey, or a second tunic, or sandals, or walking stick. The laborer deserves his keep. Whatever town or village you enter, look for a worthy person in it, and stay there until you leave. As you enter a house, wish it peace. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; if not, let your peace return to you. Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet. Amen, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Opening Prayer:\u00a0<\/b>Lord Jesus, help me to see you in those around us, and to bring you to those who need your grace, your peace, and your healing touch. Be with me on each step of my journey, especially during these moments of prayer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Encountering Christ:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>There Is Work to Be Done:<\/b>\u00a0The world in the twenty-first century, as in biblical times, has many souls who are sick,\u00a0spiritually dead, or physically or mentally ill. Demons are everywhere. There is a need for healing. Jesus told the disciples that, as they had obtained their faith \u201cwithout cost,\u201d they were to offer that faith to others at no charge.\u00a0He tells us to do the same.\u00a0We are called to share the Good News in our families, our neighborhoods, and our larger community. But to do so, we must pare down\u2014live with a healthy detachment from material goods\u2014and trust that Jesus will provide what we need to be effective witnesses of his love to the world.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>The Laborer Deserves His Keep:\u00a0<\/b>Jesus\u2019 followers were told to \u201clook for a worthy person\u201d in each town they visited, and to lodge in that person\u2019s household until it was time to move on.\u00a0We can be that \u201cworthy person\u201d by opening our hearts and homes to missionaries, our parish priests, charitable groups, Bible studies, etc. By this hospitality, we support the works of the Spirit in our neighborhood and community. Furthermore, we can be hospitable, in the fullest sense, to those who do the Lord\u2019s work, by contributing our own time, talent, and treasure, as well as by prayer and sacrifice.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Shake the Dust:<\/b>\u00a0Within a few sentences, Jesus offered what could be seen as a paradoxical message.\u00a0On the one hand, he sent his Apostles out to heal the sick, raise the dead, and drive out demons. On the other hand, if they were blocked from doing so in a particular place, he told them to move on!\u00a0The Scriptures speak often of \u201chardness of heart.\u201d Some individuals are simply not open or ready to receive the Good News. We meet them where they are, love them, serve them, and still they reject us. When that happens, we must leave them, at least for a while, and pray and fast for their total restoration by grace.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Conversing with Christ:\u00a0<\/b>Lord, too often I have gone about doing your work, with the expectation of a temporal reward. Help me to turn away from the need for praise, knowing that you are the one worthy of our praise and thanksgiving.\u00a0Through the intercession of St. John the Baptist, help me to live simply, and by my hospitality and witness of faith and humility, lead others to your peace.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Resolution:\u00a0<\/b>Lord, today by your grace, I resolve to support, through prayer and penance, your missionaries throughout the world. I resolve to participate joyfully in your work of salvation, however and wherever you choose to use me to do your will.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>For Further Reflection:\u00a0<\/b>Writing on the meaning of faith, Pope Benedict XVI pointed to the words from the\u00a0<i>Catechism<\/i>:\u00a0\u201c\u2018No one can believe alone, just as no one can live alone. You have not given yourself faith as you have not given yourself life.\u2019 Paul\u2019s description of his experience of conversion and baptism alludes to faith\u2019s radical character: \u2018It is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me\u2019 (Gal 2:20). Faith is a perishing of the mere self and precisely a resurrection of the true self.\u201d It is not our mere selves, but our true selves, that Jesus sends into the world to proclaim his Gospel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Dorothy Warner is a writer living in the Washington, D.C., area.

But beware of men, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Opening Prayer:\u00a0<\/b>Lord, you promise that your Spirit will speak through me at the moments when I testify on your behalf. Help me to grow in faith and to hear your promptings, so that I might be a better witness to your healing love. Help me to grow in the courage of faith, knowing that whatever is endured for your sake has eternal value. Amen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Encountering Christ<\/b>:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Sheep Among Wolves:\u00a0<\/b>Jesus was very clear in speaking with his disciples: The work ahead of them would not be easy, nor would everyone welcome them with open arms.\u00a0In fact, there were those who would use the legal system and other legitimate authorities in a twisted or unjust way, so as to punish those who witnessed to the faith.\u00a0As Christians, we should expect some level of persecution when we\u2019re trying to extend the Kingdom of God. There are several contemporary examples of legal protests against Christians standing up for the Gospel in the public square. We know, however, that by prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit, we can be given the grace to become \u201cas shrewd as serpents\u201d to continue the work of evangelization.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Do Not Worry:\u00a0<\/b>Again and again in the Gospels, Jesus tells us not to be afraid, to trust, not to worry.\u00a0Yet, for many, doubts persist.\u00a0So often we turn to what the world offers to calm our anxieties. A sure cure for worldly anxieties is to remember that the Lord does not abandon his faithful ones.\u00a0The Holy Spirit gives us the right words in times of trial. \u201cWho except God can give you peace? Has the world ever been able to satisfy the heart?\u201d (St. Gerard Majella).<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Enduring to the End:\u00a0<\/b>Jesus does not want our efforts at evangelization, however narrow we think they may be, to be a one-off. He calls us to make our entire life a positive witness to the Gospel. We are invited to look for opportunities, however small, in our daily lives to bear witness to the Good News. \u201cWhat toil we must endure, what fatigue, while we are attempting to climb hills and the summits of mountains!

It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, for the slave that he become like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household! Therefore do not be afraid of them. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father\u2019s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Jesus invites us to be more and more like him, and to do that we need to listen to his word, reflect on it deeply, and receive him in the sacraments frequently.

How do you read it?\u201d He said in reply, \u201cYou shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.\u201d He replied to him, \u201cYou have answered correctly; do this and you will live.\u201d But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, \u201cAnd who is my neighbor?\u201d Jesus replied, \u201cA man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn, and cared for him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, \u2018Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.\u2019 Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers\u2019 victim?\u201d He answered, \u201cThe one who treated him with mercy.\u201d Jesus said to him, \u201cGo and do likewise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>Opening Prayer:\u00a0<\/b>Lord, I often wonder if I will inherit eternal life. I try hard to please you but so often believe I fail to live up to your expectations of me. Help me, Lord, to remember your will is your Divine Mercy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Encountering Christ:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Testing Jesus:\u00a0<\/b>There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test\u00a0Jesus and said, \u201cTeacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?\u201d Even though this scholar asked in order to test Jesus and justify himself, Our Lord used this opportunity to affirm him and to teach him how to move beyond the law. We should never hesitate to ask the Holy Spirit in prayer for confirmation or clarification about what we believe. God will work through our efforts to know the faith by studying Scripture and teachings of the Church. He will affirm what we understand and explain what we do not. He may speak in the moment with sudden enlightenment, or through others we meet during our day. He may draw our attention to certain writings, or lead us into discussion with knowledgeable friends and colleagues. We need only be open to the workings of the Holy Spirit.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Law of Eternal Life:\u00a0<\/b>When<b>\u00a0<\/b>Jesus answered the Jewish scholar\u2019s question on eternal life with another question, \u201cWhat is written in the law?\u201d the scholar responded, \u201cYou shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.\u201d As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are also bound by this law to love God and neighbor, for our Lord tells us, \u201cDo not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish but to fulfill\u201d (Mt 5:17). We have a clear advantage over the scholar for as difficult as it is to love God and neighbor as we are called to do, we are able to do so through Jesus. The Jewish people were given the law by God through Moses but Moses had no more power than they did to accomplish it. Jesus both commands this law and accomplishes it in us for he is truly God and truly man.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Good Samaritan Revealed:\u00a0<\/b>In his book,\u00a0<i>Secrets from Heaven<\/i>, Father Sebastian Walshe offers a wonderful contemplation on Jesus\u2019 parable of the Good Samaritan. The man who fell upon robbers is Adam, who is stripped by the devil of charity and justice and left wounded by original sin and its consequences. He is half-dead because the soul remains immortal but now the body is subject to death. The priest and Levite who walk by him are the sacrifices of the old covenant and the law of Moses which cannot heal man\u2019s fallen state. Christ is the Samaritan, a foreigner whose \u201cKingdom does not belong to this world\u201d (Jn 18:36) and who out of pity for the plight of man came into human nature when \u201cthe Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us\u201d (Jn 1:14). The oil and wine he pours on the man is mercy and justice. The beast the Samaritan mounts the man on is Jesus\u2019 human nature. The inn to which the man is brought is the Church, a \u201cplace of safety and healing in this life while we await the Lord\u2019s return,\u201d and the innkeeper\u2019s care into which he places the man is St. Peter and the Apostles. According to Pope Francis, \u201c\u2026 The Lord comes to meet each one of us: he does not ignore us, he knows our sorrows; he knows how much we need help and consolation. He comes close to us and never abandons us. Each one of us should ask himself the question and answer in his heart: \u2018Do I believe this? Do I believe that the Lord has compassion for me, just as I am, a sinner, with so many problems and so many things?\u2019 Think of this and the answer is: \u2018Yes!\u2019 But each one must look into his heart to see if he has faith in this compassion of God, of the good God who comes close, who heals us, who caresses us. And if we refuse him, he waits: he is patient and is always at our side.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p6\"><b>Conversing with Christ:<\/b>\u00a0Lord Jesus, you came to heal me.
