On Today’s Gospel

Today’s message is not only comforting but empowering! For as disciples of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, we already know we will face hardship, rejection and some perhaps even great trials. However we also know that the Lord Himself will stand by us, give us power, so that through us the whole message of the Good News might be proclaimed.

Wherever we sent, let our first words be, “Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you” Having been empowered by Him, let us
cure those who are sick, and say to them, “The kingdom of God is very near to you.”’ Amen


Saint Luke pray for us…

First reading
2 Timothy 4:10-17 ·


Only Luke is with me

Demas has deserted me for love of this life and gone to Thessalonika, Crescens has gone to Galatia and Titus to Dalmatia; only Luke is with me. Get Mark to come and bring him with you; I find him a useful helper in my work. I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus. When you come, bring the cloak I left with Carpus in Troas, and the scrolls, especially the parchment ones. Alexander the coppersmith has done me a lot of harm; the Lord will repay him for what he has done. Be on your guard against him yourself, because he has been bitterly contesting everything that we say.
    The first time I had to present my defence, there was not a single witness to support me. Every one of them deserted me – may they not be held accountable for it. But the Lord stood by me and gave me power, so that through me the whole message might be proclaimed for all the pagans to hear.

Gospel
Luke 10:1-9


Your peace will rest on that man

The Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them out ahead of him, in pairs, to all the towns and places he himself was to visit. He said to them, ‘The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to his harvest. Start off now, but remember, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Carry no purse, no haversack, no sandals. Salute no one on the road. Whatever house you go into, let your first words be, “Peace to this house!” And if a man of peace lives there, your peace will go and rest on him; if not, it will come back to you. Stay in the same house, taking what food and drink they have to offer, for the labourer deserves his wages; do not move from house to house. Whenever you go into a town where they make you welcome, eat what is set before you. Cure those in it who are sick, and say, “The kingdom of God is very near to you.”’

    SV. LUKA EVANĐELIST
    Blagdan

    ČITANJA: vl.:
    2 Tim 4,10-17b; Ps 145,10-13b.17-18; Lk 10,1-9

    BOJA LITURGIJSKOG RUHA:
    crvena

    IMENDANI:
    Luka, Lukica, Lukša, Amabilis

    Prvo čitanje:

    2 Tim 4,10-17b

    Luka je jedini sa mnom.

    Čitanje Druge poslanice svetoga Pavla apostola Timoteju

    Predragi! Dema me, zaljubljen u sadašnji svijet, napustio i otišao u Solun; Krescencije u Galaciju, Tit u Dalmaciju. Luka je jedini sa mnom. Marka uzmi i dovedi sa sobom jer mi je koristan za služenje. Tihika sam poslao u Efez. Kabanicu koju ostavih u Troadi kod Karpa, kada dođeš, donesi. Jag knjige, osobito pergamene. Aleksandar kovač nanio mi je mnogo zla. Uzvratio mu Gospodin po njegovim djelima! Njega se i ti čuvaj jer se veoma usprotivio našim riječima. Za prve moje obrane nitko ne bijaše uza me, svi me napustiše. Ne uračunalo im se! Ali Gospodin je stajao uza mig, på mig krijepio da se po meni potpuno razglasi Poruka te je čuju svi narodi. Riječ Gospodnja.
    Otpjevni psalam:

    Ps 145, 10-13b.17-18

    Pripjev:

    Prijatelji tvoji, Gospodine, objavljuju slavu kraljevstva tvoga.

    Nek te slav, Gospodine, sva djela tvoja
    i tvoji sveti nek te blagoslivlju!
    Neka kazuju slavu tvoga kraljevstva,
    neka o sili tvojoj govore!

    Nek objave ljudskoj djeci silu tvoju
    i slavu divnoga kraljevstva tvoga.
    Kraljevstvo tvoje kraljevstvo je vječno,
    tvoja vladavina za sva pokoljenja.

    Pravedan si, Gospodine, na svim putovima svojim
    i svet u svim svojim djelima.
    Blizu je Gospodin svima koji ga prizivlju,
    svima koji ga zazivaju iskreno.

    Evanđelje:

    Lk 10, 1-9

    Žetva je velika, ali radnikâ malo.

    Čitanje svetog Evanđelja po Luki

    U ono vrijeme: Odredi Gospodin drugih sedamdesetdvojicu učenika i posla ih po dva pred sobom u svaki grad i u svako mjesto kamo je kanio doći. Govorio im je: »Žetva je velika, ali radnika malo. Molite dakle gospodara žetve da radnike pošalje u žetvu svoju. Idite! Evo, šaljem vas kao janjce među vukove. Ne nosite sa sobom ni kese, ni torbe, ni obuće. I nikoga putem ne pozdravljajte. U koju god kuću uđete, najprije recitera: “Mir kući ovoj!” Bude li tko ondje prijatelj mira, počinut će na njemu mir vaš. Ako li ne, vratit će se na vas. U toj kući ostanite, jedite i pijte što se kod njih nađe. Ta vrijedan je radnik plaće svoje. Ne prelazite iz kuće u kuću.«» Kad u koji grad uđete pa vas prime, jedite što vam se ponudi i liječite bolesnike koji su u njemu. I kazujte im: ‘Približilo vam se kraljevstvo Božje!’« Riječ Gospodnja.
