Seventy Disciples Have a Mission
Luke 10:1-19
Jesus Christ sent seventy disciples,
Two by two, to places where He would preach.
They were chosen to be the advance men.
They were taught to say, “Peace be to this house.”
The Navarre Bible notes are instructive.
“Our Lord…requires of them detachment and
Abandonment to divine providence.”
“The actions and words of the disciples
Are, like those of Jesus, a call from God
To repentance, which must come from the heart.”
Saint Josemaria Escriva wrote,
“Don’t doubt it: your vocation is the greatest
Grace our Lord could have given you. Thank Him
For it.” I thank God for my vocation.
