From one town and village to another

“Jesus journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God.” (LK 8: 1)

On one hand, it would be so nice to stay in the same place, work with the same group of people, and have a stable situation. On the other hand, there is also another vocation, to be all the time moving “from one town and village to another.” More difficult, more challenging, less understood, or accepted. It would be nice to have regular Programs in a few places, working with the same group of people and having stable lives, but we are invited to follow Our Lord’s example, moving Programs to new destinations, working with new people, and being in our journey all the time. Good coaches don’t sit on the bench when the world is in need. 

“Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom.” (Gospel Acclamation)
