October 18, 2013: St. Luke, evangelist
Readings- 2 Tm 4:10-17b Only Luke remains. Others deserted me, but the Lord stood by me, so that through me all might hear.
- Ps 145:10-13, 17-18 "Your friends make known, O Lord, the glorious splendor of your Kingdom." Let your works tell of your glory, might, eternal Kingdom. Lord is just. holy, near.
- Lk 10:1-9 Jesus sent 72 disciples in pairs like lambs among wolves: “The harvest is abundant but laborers few. Go cure the sick; travel light. Say, ‘God's Kingdom is at hand.’"
- Pope Francis 10/17 homily: Prayer is the key that opens door to faith. If you don't pray, your knowledge of Jesus can become Jesus-free ideology that chases people away. Praying ≠ saying prayers; speak with Jesus heart to heart.
