READINGS!
GO ON YOUR WAY!
Jesus issues a warning
concerning the rejection of the
Kingdom of God: “I tell you, it
will be more tolerable for
Sodom on that day than for
that town.” This is alarming
when
considering
how
secularized our culture is
! today. Again, the first order of
business is prayer. Saint
!
Clement of Rome writes: “Why are we so lost to all
sense and reason that we have forgotten our
membership of one another? There must be no time
lost in putting an end to this state of affairs. We
must fall on our knees before the Master and
implore Him with tears to graciously pardon us, and
bring us back again into the honorable and virtuous
way of brothers and sisters who love one
another. For that is the gateway of righteousness,
the open gate to life. There are many gates
standing open, but the gate of righteousness is the
gate of Christ.”
The seventy-two men returned from their
mission rejoicing because even the demons were
subject to them. This is a certain sign of the reign of
God. Jesus was acting through His disciples
whenever they proclaimed His Name. The same is
true today. There’s power in the Name of
Jesus. One of the prayer practices of Eastern
Christianity from the early days in the desert to this
very day is to recall the Name of Jesus simply
through one’s normal breathing pattern. With this
practice one soon discovers in a very personal way
the power that’s in His Name.
These men are elated about the power they
had over demons in the Name of the Lord. Jesus
shares their joy but tells them to be more exuberant
about having their names written in heaven. Again,
this is a continuation of our Lord’s lesson about
staying focused on the Kingdom.
1!
First Reading - Isaiah 66:10-14c
The idea that the Christian faith is a sad affair is
difficult to understand when the word “rejoice”
appears so many times in scripture and in our
liturgies. Again and again the people of God are
given reason to “rejoice and be glad” because of
their ongoing relationship to God.
Second Reading - Galatians 6:14-18
Joy or happiness in the Christian scheme of things
means much more than having a good laugh or
going to an extravagant party. Both joy and
happiness include that deep sense of peace that
comes from knowing that both our present lives
and our future belong to Jesus Christ.
Gospel - Luke 10:1-12, 17-20 or 10:1-9
The seventy-two disciples that Jesus sent out came
back filled with jubilation because they had
experienced life’s greatest joy and most sublime
happiness. They had been able to make a
worthwhile contribution to the world. They had
been able to help other people turn their lives
around.
