DAILY- HOMILY

SEPTEMBER 22, 2010
WEDNESDAY 25TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME – YEAR II

PROVERBS 30:5-9
Every word of God is unalloyed, a shield to those who take refuge in
him. To his words make no addition, lest he reprove you and account
you a liar. Two things I beg of you, do not grudge me them before I
die: keep falsehood and lies far from me, give me neither poverty nor
riches, grant me only my share of food, for fear that, surrounded by
plenty, I should fall away and say, 'Yahweh-who is Yahweh?' or else,
in destitution, take to stealing and profane the name of my God.

LUKE 9:1-6
He called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over
all devils and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the
kingdom of God and to heal. He said to them, 'Take nothing for the
journey: neither staff, nor haversack, nor bread, nor money; and do
not have a spare tunic. Whatever house you enter, stay there; and when
you leave let your departure be from there. As for those who do not
welcome you, when you leave their town shake the dust from your feet
as evidence against them.' So they set out and went from village to
village proclaiming the good news and healing everywhere.

REFLECTION
God's words are timeless. His promises transcend all time and space.
The Bible is full of His promises. Jesus commissioned his Apostles to
go out to spread the Good News, to heal people and to take authority
over demons.

This is still true today. We are called to reach out and help those
who are diseased physically and spiritually. Is it not healing when we
compassionately caress the hand of an arthritic man? Is it not healing
when we sit down and listen to the woes and worries of a co-worker? Is
it not taking authority when we help rehabilitate a friend hooked on
vices?

Jesus does not promise that it will be easy. We will meet
disappointments and rejections. However, those of us who are willing
to follow his footpath will find a place in his kingdom.
