Scripture: After this the Lord
appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself
was about to come. Luke 10:1
Reflection: When the cloud arrives the rain arrives too, when
the Sun arrives the heat arrives too, when the food arrives the plates arrives
too and the men to eat.
Similarly,
when the Gospel of Jesus arrives through his chosen servants the Lord too
arrives. How do we know this?
In
today’s Gospel Jesus make it clear that when he sends his disciple to every
town and place, he ensures that his presence will follow to that place; “where he himself
was about to come.”
This
very reason when the word of God or the Gospel is proclaimed faithfully there
are signs and wonders that follow on account of Christ’s presence that accompany
the carriers of the good news of faith; for the Lord is the Word! Therefore, the
greatest sign is the conversion of the stony human heart towards the truth of
the Gospel that saves.
Prayer: Lord,
May we see you arrive each time your word is proclaimed and may this arrival
transform and change me to follow you closely.
