First reading 2 Timothy 4:10-17

Only Luke is with me

Demas has deserted me for love of this life and gone to Thessalonika, Crescens has gone to Galatia and Titus to Dalmatia; only Luke is with me. Get Mark to come and bring him with you; I find him a useful helper in my work. I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus. When you come, bring the cloak I left with Carpus in Troas, and the scrolls, especially the parchment ones. Alexander the coppersmith has done me a lot of harm; the Lord will repay him for what he has done. Be on your guard against him yourself, because he has been bitterly contesting everything that we say.
  The first time I had to present my defence, there was not a single witness to support me. Every one of them deserted me – may they not be held accountable for it. But the Lord stood by me and gave me power, so that through me the whole message might be proclaimed for all the pagans to hear; and so I was rescued from the lion’s mouth.
 

Responsorial Psalm 144(145):10-13a,17-18

Your friends, O Lord, make known the glorious splendour of your reign.
 
All your creatures shall thank you, O Lord,
  and your friends shall repeat their blessing.
They shall speak of the glory of your reign
  and declare your might, O God.
 
Your friends, O Lord, make known the glorious splendour of your reign.
 
They make known to men your mighty deeds
  and the glorious splendour of your reign.
Yours is an everlasting kingdom;
  your rule lasts from age to age.
 
Your friends, O Lord, make known the glorious splendour of your reign.
 
The Lord is just in all his ways
  and loving in all his deeds.
He is close to all who call him,
  who call on him from their hearts.
 
Your friends, O Lord, make known the glorious splendour of your reign.
 

Gospel Luke 10:1-9

Your peace will rest on that man

The Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them out ahead of him, in pairs, to all the towns and places he himself was to visit. He said to them, ‘The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to his harvest. Start off now, but remember, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Carry no purse, no haversack, no sandals. Salute no one on the road. Whatever house you go into, let your first words be, “Peace to this house!” And if a man of peace lives there, your peace will go and rest on him; if not, it will come back to you. Stay in the same house, taking what food and drink they have to offer, for the labourer deserves his wages; do not move from house to house. Whenever you go into a town where they make you welcome, eat what is set before you. Cure those in it who are sick, and say, “The kingdom of God is very near to you.”’
 
__________________________
 

To be an ambassador of peace

Jesus calls and sends each one of us out to preach His message of love and peace. Through our words and actions, we are called to tell  others that the Kingdom of God is near, i.e. God is neither far away from us nor indifferent to what we are living. In this pandemic, people  need to hear this message of hope and experience the closeness of God in these moments of uncertainty.
 
“Whatever house you enter, let your first words be, “Peace to this house!”. Jesus instructed His disciples to bring a blessing of peace to each house. In the same way, He continues to call us to offer peace to each place we go and each person we encounter. When Jesus says to us, “Go!”, we might think we are sent to faraway places to do mission work. However, let us not forget that mission begins at home, with those closest to us, i.e. our family, friends, neighbours, and parish communities. Jesus sends us to them. It is to them that we bring the message of peace.
 
Question for reflection:
Do I live my life as a person on mission?
