Reflection
Proverbs 30:5-9, Luke 9:1-6
“Take Nothing... Trust”
Jesus’ whole life exuded His trust and surrender to God His Father. Everything He did was done out of genuine trust in God. In today’s gospel, Jesus set the Twelve together and sent them out to preach about the Kingdom of God. Interestingly, He did not instruct them on what they should take with them in this mission, but He told them what not to take. “Take nothing for the journey: neither staff, nor haversack, nor bread, nor money, and let none of you take a spare tunic.”

Jesus sent His disciples without anything, except with complete trust in God.
Today, Jesus sends us on a mission too. We are sent by Jesus to bring God’s love, peace and joy to those who come our way. We go with a heart full of trust in God that He will provide us with the strength, the joy and enough enthusiasm for the mission.

Questions for reflection:
1) Today, with whom can I share the Good News of God’s love?

2) What is holding me back from living the joy of mission?
