When
we go for trips, some of us may fret about what to bring with us. Some
would start packing lots of clothes, toiletries, make-up, etc. Others
might just pack what they feel is necessary and travel light.
When the Lord sends us on a "trip" (mission), what have we been
instructed to do? In today's Gospel, there is a sense of urgency for us
to make the trip. We are told to:
1. Start off now, but remember, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
2. Carry no purse, no haversack, no sandals.
3. Salute no one on the road.
4. Stay in the same house... do not move from house to house.
Our duty, from today's Gospel, is to go and preach the Good News
through words and deeds. This duty is so urgent that we should not be
hampered and distracted with other matters.
Should the Lord
call you right now to go and preach the Good News without delay, would
you be able and willing to do so immediately?
