Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel Friday 26 January 2018
"Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals” Luke 10,1
Jesus’ commandment is frightful, it is clear that He does not encourage us to do Caritas work in the first place !!
Our Master does not want money, power to be the basis of His Kingdom, however love, goodness! Frightful how far we
went the wrong way, how much the financial interests have taken over a role even within the Church ! Lets pray so that God gives us back to His children the apostles’ purity, freedom, spiritual liveliness !!
With love,
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
After this the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them on ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself intended to go. He said to them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest. Go on your way. See, I am sending you out like lambs into the midst of wolves. Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and greet no one on the road. Whatever house you enter, first say, “Peace to this house!” And if anyone is there who shares in peace, your peace will rest on that person; but if not, it will return to you. Remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the labourer deserves to be paid. Do not move about from house to house. Whenever you enter a town and its people welcome you, eat what is set before you; cure the sick who are there, and say to them, “The kingdom of God has come near to you.”
Luke 10:1-9
