Tuesday, 11th June, Barnabas, Apostle, Memorial

Matthew 10:7-13

As you go, proclaim the good news, “The
kingdom of heaven has come near.” Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the
lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment.
Take no gold, or silver, or copper in your belts, no bag for your journey, or
two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for labourers deserve their food. Whatever town
or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you
leave. As you enter the house, greet it. If the house is worthy, let your peace
come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

Reflection

What is the kingdom of heaven to me?

How do I carry out the mission commissioned
by Jesus?
