Saturday, 26th January, Timothy and Titus, Bishops, Memorial

Luke 10:1-9

After this the Lord appointed seventy
others and sent them on ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he
himself intended to go. He said to them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the
labourers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers
into his harvest. Go on your way. See, I am sending you out like lambs into the
midst of wolves. Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and greet no one on the
road. Whatever house you enter, first say, “Peace to this house!” And if anyone
is there who shares in peace, your peace will rest on that person; but if not,
it will return to you. Remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever
they provide, for the labourer deserves to be paid. Do not move about from
house to house. Whenever you enter a town and its people welcome you, eat what
is set before you; cure the sick who are there, and say to them, “The kingdom
of God has come near to you.”

Reflection

l  
Am I surprised by The
Lord's choice of followers?

l  
Am I chosen with my
faults as those who are chosen with their faults?
