As you have probably noticed, whenever I write my reflections, whenever I preach, I like to think about what God is trying to tell me through the scripture readings. I try to think how I can keep the word of God alive here and today. Just like today when Jesus sent His disciples for a mission and told them: “As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons.” So, I am thinking: if I am Jesus’ disciple today, I should be able to cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers and drive out demons. But I can’t do that! That’s true. None of us has the power to perform those miracles. But we do have the power to bring love and peace to our world. And by bringing love and peace, we also bring healing, and hope, and joy to others. “As you enter a house, wish it peace.”
