Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus sends the Twelve on their mission to announce the nearness of the kingdom. I want to say a few things about our embracing our mission and being equipped for it.
What do you need for your mission? You need a keen sense of God as the absolute center of your life. In a word, you require the spiritual gifts of piety and fear of the Lord. I realize that these terms can sound fussy and puritanical, but they are actually naming something strong and essential.
You need fear of the Lord, which does not mean that you are afraid of God. It means that nothing to you is more important than God, that everything in your life centers around and is subordinate to your love for God. And your equipping needs to include piety. That means that you honor God above everything else, that you worship him alone. These spiritual gifts enable you to find true balance; they allow you to know what your life is about.
Equipped with these gifts, you are ready for mission. Having received the fire of the Holy Spirit, you are ready to set the world on fire.
TOPICS: Catholic
KEYWORDS:
+++Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two
and gave them authority over unclean spirits.
He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a
walking stick
–no food, no sack, no money in their belts.
They were, however, to wear sandals but not a second tunic.
He said to them,
“Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave from
there.
Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you,
leave there and shake the dust off your feet
in testimony against them.”
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.+++

It hurts to see your homo hero heretic exposed, doesn’t it?

And the Church WILL prevail....Of course the Church will prevail; Christ promised it.
However heretics like the homosexualists Barron and Bergoglio are short-lived.

... slandering fellow Catholics...
Really now... how much more self-unaware can you possibly be?
And is this God you speak of the one who applauds the schismatic violence scourged upon the Body of Christ?, again?
The one who is Glorified by the modern day Luther wannabes, and diabolus' of every stripe? Those whose daily bread consists of poison?
Well, my Jesus tells those self- righteous, holier than thou pukes to "get behind him", just the same.
