“The Lord Jesus appointed seventy-two disciples whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace to this household.' If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you." -Luke 10:1-6

Jesus sent them out, to proclaim the Kingdom, just as He sends us out to do the same. Not only did He send the 72 out to proclaim, but also to enlist those who were converted, to do the same. Every one of us can trace our roots to someone converted by those original laborers. Now it is our turn, to go out among the wolves, placing all our trust in the Lord as they did, and proclaim God’s Kingdom.

Saint Luke the Evangelist, pray for us.
