In this week's edition of There's more in the Gospel than meets the eye,
Jill Bevilacqua and Seàn-Patrick Lovett bring us readings and reflections for the
Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Listen:
GospelLk 10:1-9
At that time the Lord
appointed seventy-two others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to
every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them, “The
harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to
send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I
am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no
sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house
you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’ If a peaceful
person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it
will return to you. Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered
to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about
from one house to another. Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat
what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The
kingdom of God is at hand for you.’
