Thursday October 3rd: Spreading the Word

“Peace to this house!”

Luke 10: 1 – 12

Each time I read this Gospel, I tell myself I should follow these recommendations and then I forget.
“Peace to this house!” What a wonderful greeting. God, please help me to remember to say this, when I enter someone’s home.
I know it is my duty to spread the word of God. I am ashamed to say I have never joined an evangelization group or participated in any other outreach programme.
Many of my non- Catholic friends invite me to their Churches and services. I, on the other hand, have never invited a non-Catholic friend to Mass.
I have to pray for a friend to accompany me so that we can spread the good news together. Dear Lord, let us be gracious to all we meet.
Let us remember to be attentive to the physical as well as the emotional needs of those we meet while spreading the faith.
May I find the grace to accept rejection, if any, with love.
