Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Luke 10:1-9Today, Jesus sends out disciples two by two, to towns and surrounding villages. He instructs them in how to handle both acceptance and rejection. We too must expect the same from those around us. As we spread the Word of God, in both word and deed, we can sometimes be welcomed and sometimes by ostracized. If we know this ahead of time, it should make us stronger to handle the times people do not embrace us or our message.
May the Holy Spirit grant us courage and peace.
