There are opportunities on our doorstep to share the peace of God in Christ. Here’s our reflection from the Daily Mass.
BIBLE READINGS: You can find the readings for Thursday in the fourth week of the year here
There will be many sights and attractions in our own city and country that we may have never experienced. Since they’re on our doorstep, we can see them at any time, which often means we never will.
When compared to the journeys many of the apostles will later take around the world, their first few journeys are more local, to all the neighbouring towns and villages, as Jesus sends them out in pairs with specific instructions. They return with joy, filled with stories of deliverance and healing as God’s peace rests on the homes of those who welcome them.
We don’t have to go far or be part of huge projects and initiatives to make a difference in the world. There are opportunities on our doorstep and in our local communities to proclaim through word and action the healing and liberating love of God in Christ. Like those first disciples, we won’t always be welcomed with open arms but sometimes and somewhere we will experience the fruits of God’s peace which is above all understanding.
Mass today is at St Dyfrig and Samson Church at 10am
