“But they would not welcome Jesus, because the destination of his journey was Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this they asked ‘Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?’ Jesus turned and rebuked them, and they journeyed to another village.” Luke 9:53-56. St. Hildegard of Bingen said, “I welcome all the creatures of the world with grace.” Let us pray, Lord Jesus, help us to remember this
example. Today many won’t welcome You, and in fact You are rejected. Yet we are to continue
with what You put before us, let us remember this. We are called to peace, and the work of the
Kingdom. May love be our strength. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
