“Jesus summoned the twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits. He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick – no food, no sack, no money in their belts.” Mark 6:7-8. Saint Albert the Great said, “The greater and more persistent your confidence in God, the more abundantly you will receive all that you ask.”

Let us pray, Lord Jesus, You taught the Apostles to rely on God alone, sending them out on mission with nothing. We strive to put our trust in God alone, but we fail at times, looking at circumstances, temptations, fears. Help us Lord to make a daily surrender and so grow in complete trust in You. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
