DROP IT.

Thursday of the Fourth Week in Ordinary Time Year C Mark 6:7-13 Jesus sent his disciples two by two with an instructions to cast out demons, to proclaim the gospel and to remind people to repent. In doing so, they were told to BRING NOTHING. No money, no food, no bad and no extra clothes.Three points that I would like to share. First, like the disciples we too are reminded to bring nothing because our security does not depend on our properties. What we have sometimes are the major reasons for the DELAY of our mission. It could also lead to the DESTRUCTION of our goal. And what we have may sometimes DISTURB us of our spirititual expidition. Avoid these stumbling blocks to your operation. Never put your trust in your properties. They are false securities! Second, keep trusting the Divine providence. Friends, you will never be hungry if you work for God. You will always have a place of refuge if you serve the Lord. As missionary our trust to God includes also in trusting people’s generosity and kindness. Trust the Lord and you will not be put to shame. When was the last time you tell the Lord: “Lord in you I put my trust.” Finally, we are invited today to dump and cast aside the non essentials. Friends, what makes your journey heavy? What gives you so much weight that burden your journey? DROP IT OFF! I am sure there were horrible memories that keep on haunting your beautiful life, forget about it. All those sorrowful and tragic events in the past, don’t carry it with you. Abandon those traumatic and distressing remembrance in your life. Forget those people who makes your life journey complicated. Disown those abusive partner you uhave in the past. Dump those barbaric friends who drained your energy. Ditch those monstrous collegues in your life. There are properties of yours that gives you headaches everyday, let it go. DROP ALL OF THEM! To make your journey light and easy, bring Jesus with you instead. Conclusion: Travel light. Trust the Lord Testify to Jesus. Blessings Fr. Jhack
