I wonder what it was like journeying with You, Lord? Would I have been less susceptible to committing sin in Your company? How did You organize the group? Did You decide who did what or how it was to be done? Or did You just delegate? What joy it must have been to witness You touch so many lives in a most profound way. Why do I even wonder? When……

Praise be to You my Lord, my God! For You have looked kindly upon Your lowly servant. You have indeed been with me on my journey to greater knowledge of You. You have allowed me to bear witness to Your glory in so many things and situations. I was led to participate with many different workgroups of Your disciples, men and women alike filled with all the gifts and talents needed, all working closely together to complete what was necessary according to Your Will.

While I strive to lead a fruitful and holy life Lord, I am still very weak and vulnerable. Grant me the strength and courage to overcome the many trials that come my way. Let me not seek the wants and desires of this world. Help me Lord Jesus, to pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. That I may share Your Word with others in a holy, humble disposition pleasing to You. In Your most precious name. Amen

GOSPEL
Luke 8:1–3

Jesus journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources.
