Prisutnost

Dragi Bože, pomozi mi da Ti se otvorim
u ovom trenutku dok brige svijeta ostavljam po strani.
Ispuni moje misli svojim mirom, svojom ljubavlju.

Sloboda

Trebam prekinuti buku, izdići se iznad buke:
buke koja ometa, koja razdvaja,
buke koja izolira.
U miru i tišini trebam ponovno osluškivati Boga.

Svjesnost

Kako se danas osjećam?
Gdje sam u odnosu na Boga? Druge osobe?
Postoji li nešto za što trebam biti zahvalan? Tada zahvaljujem.
Postoji li nešto zbog čega mi je žao? Ako je tako, tražim oprost.

Rijec Gospodnja

¹After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself intended to go. ²He said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. ³Go on your way; I am sending you out like lambs into the midst of wolves. ⁴Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals, and greet no one on the road. ⁵Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house!’ ⁶And if a person of peace is there, your peace will rest on that person, but if not, it will return to you. ⁷Remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the laborer deserves to be paid. Do not move about from house to house. ⁸Whenever you enter a town and its people welcome you, eat what is set before you; ⁹cure the sick who are there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’^{, 10}But whenever you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say, ¹¹‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off in protest against you. Yet know this: the kingdom of God has come near.’^{, 12}I tell you, on that day it will be more tolerable for Sodom than for that town.

¹⁷The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, in your name even the demons submit to us!” ¹⁸He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning. ¹⁹Indeed, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will hurt you. ²⁰Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Inspiracija

Upućujući učenike da ne nose rezervne halje, novac ni sandale, Isus im govori da se ne usredotočuju na sebe, već na svoje poslanje propovijedanja i iscjeljivanja. Bog će im providjeti sve što im je potrebno preko ljudi kojima donose poruku kraljevstva Božjega „jer vrijedan je radnik plaće svoje”.

Papa Franjo rekao je da smo svi pozvani biti misionari. Koji god životni put odabrali, možemo svjedočiti svoju vjeru načinom na koji živimo. No postoji i potreba za onima koji su pozvani posvetiti svoje živote propovijedanju radosne vijesti o kraljevstvu Božjem. Molimo se za svećenička i redovnička zvanja.

Koju sam riječ ili izraz iz današnjeg Evanđelja zapazio? Pitam Gospodina što mi tom riječju želi reći…

Zaključak

Ispunjen Božjom prisutnošću punom ljubavi,
molim da me On blagoslovi i da upravlja mojim koracima
dok krećem na Njegov posao u svojem svakodnevnom životu.

Amen
