Jesus’ disciples rejoice.

Family Connection

Families teach a sense of togetherness and community. It

is in the family that we learn that we are dependent on one another and where we learn to

work together and live together. In this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus sends out the 72 disciples in

pairs, a sign that we are to work together to serve the mission of

the Kingdom of God.

Talk about all the ways that your family works together. Talk about the various chores and

tasks that family members work on together to accomplish in order to keep the household

running smoothly.

Read aloud Luke 10:1-12,17-20. Talk about why it was

important that Jesus sent his disciples out in pairs. Discuss

ways that your family can work more closely together

to support one another and to make the household run

more smoothly. Pray for the strength to overcome the

temptation to be too individualistic and to recognize the need for

working together as a family.

An acknowledgment of those being honored or memorialized and also the name of those arranging it will

be placed in the bulletin each week.

Background on the Gospel Reading

Today's Gospel begins immediately after the final verse in last Sunday's Gospel. After strong language about the difficulties of discipleship, Jesus immediately appoints 72 people to go ahead of him to every town and place he plans to visit, proclaiming that the Kingdom of God is at hand. He sends them in pairs. In the Law of Moses two witnesses were needed for a testimony to be credible. It was probably also a safer way to travel.

Jesus admits it will be difficult, that he is sending them out like lambs among wolves. Yet they are to bring nothing with them, not even a money bag or sandals. They are to greet no one on the way so as not to be distracted from their mission. When they enter a house, their message is simply “peace.” The response they will receive may be positive or negative. Either way, they are to know that the Kingdom of God is at hand. They are not to demand special treatment but eat and drink whatever is given them. They are to stay in one house and are not to look around for one that provides better accommodations. They are to heal the sick as a sign that the Kingdom of God is at hand for them. Like Jesus' miracles, healing is a sign of the coming of the kingdom. If the town will not receive them, they are to shake the dust from their feet and move on. Even in the case of such rejection they should know that the Kingdom of God is at hand.

When they return from their journeys, they are rejoicing because their mission has been successful. Demons were under their power because of Jesus' name. Jesus may have sent them out as lambs among wolves, but at the conclusion of this passage he assures them that they have been given power over the enemy and nothing will harm them, not even serpents and scorpions.

A key theme of today's Gospel and last Sunday's Gospel is discipleship—its challenges, its difficulties, and its rewards. Sharing in the mission of Jesus is difficult, but everyone is called to do it, not just some professionals trained for ministry. Even for us today, the harvest is plentiful. We should pray to the master of the harvest to send out workers for his harvest.

Prayer For The Protection From Storms

God our Father, Creator of the Universe and Lord over all creation, we humbly stand before you as your children in

thanksgiving for your loving care and protection.

We ask that you keep us safe from all hurricanes which may threaten us in the coming seasons. Protect us from all fear

and anxiety of storms and give us an ardent trust and hope in Your love and mercy.

You alone have the power to command the sea, the wind and the rain. You alone bring peace, calm, and safety. Father, we

thank you in advance, for you are our only Refuge.

We ask this through Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Amen.
