Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 10,1-12.17-20
At the time the Lord Jesus appointed seventy-two others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit.
He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.
Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.
Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way.
Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’
If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another.
Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you,
cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand for you.'”
Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you, go out into the streets and say,
‘The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you.’ Yet know this: the kingdom of God is at hand.
I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than for that town.
The seventy (-two) returned rejoicing, and said, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us because of your name.”
Jesus said, “I have observed Satan fall like lightning from the sky.
Behold, I have given you the power ‘to tread upon serpents’ and scorpions and upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm you.
Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

1. Disciples. God never leaves aside your freedom; He brings you a proposal. In this sense, discipleship means following Jesus, but being you. Yes! Being fully you, accepting your origin and your life and then walking with Jesus towards a goal that both He and you desire. That will make you truly happy.
2. On the way. Your life is a journey; you should not stay still in life because living implies decisions and options. Those who stay still in life do not decide, and those who don’t decide become ‘stuck’ in one place and don’t grow or develop, and this leads to a feeling of neutralization: they do not live, they suffer life. Keep on walking! Always ask God for light, but do not stop walking.
3. Your salary. Seek fair payment for your life. And which is that fair payment? Being happy and fulfilled. God has many things to give you and you have many things to give us. Come on! You have a task in this world and you can’t leave this life without having fulfilled it.
God bless you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. And don’t forget that Heaven is our goal.
