Today's Gospel seemed to have some relevance to the plans of our administration: -

(I hope you don't think I am being facetious - So many Catholics, especially clergy, seem to have decided to act like Quakers, that I am taking this passage as a message that cleaning up the Middle East is a good thing!)

Gospel Mk 6:7-13

Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits.... So they went off and preached repentance. The Twelve drove out many demons, and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them

Interesting also, that ONE time when Jesus sent them out, He told them not to take money (which means all the other times they took wads of cash) and not to take swords. Uh oh. I guess the disciples were packin' all the other times.
