On the Journey


                I like the idea of going on a trip.  Summertime is especially the time everyone has this on their minds.  For pleasure, to help an elderly relative, or simply to get away for a while.
                In today’s gospel, (Luke 10:1-12, 17-20), Jesus sends the disciples on a mission.  And it’s no dream vacation!  With zealous hearts, they are sent by Him to proclaim the Kingdom of God.  And, like I already mentioned, not everyone will accept them.  Nor will everyone accept our exemplary opportunities fulfilled as Christians.
                He calls us to take nothing with us.  To walk from place to place just as we are.  Yes, we must prepare with study and prayer, but there is also the gentle way of not overthinking it (which believe me, I have done!). 
                Continue on the journey.  Protect your values and walk in the Freedom of what it means to be a Catholic; all “In the Presence of God.”
