Luke 10, 1-9

Let us all remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Luke 10, 1-9
The Lord Jesus appointed seventy-two others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to
visit. He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers
for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no
sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’ If a peaceful
person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is
offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another. Whatever town you enter
and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand for
you.'”

Reflection
The gospel tells us about Jesus who sends seventy-two of his disciples out into the towns and villages that he intended to
visit. Jesus gives the disciples instructions for this journey. He tells his disciples to pack lightly for the journey and should not
take any money, luggage or sandals. Today Jesus is sending us forth to preach the Good News. He gives us the same
instructions that he gave the Apostles: “take nothing with you.” All we are to take with us is the Good News of Jesus. Are we
ready for this mission?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that, “Every individual needs to be constantly exposed to or immersed in the pressing social problems to which we
subsequently aim to contribute a resolution.” As Lasallians, we need to adopt different cultures that we might encounter along
our way to understand better our community. Let us allow ourselves to bring nothing but the word of God and the inspiration of
our holy founder as we do our mission.

MISSION PRAYER 2021 Year of Missio Ad Gentes CBCP
God, our loving Father, You sent your Son into the world to proclaim the Good News of Salvation to all: to sinners, the poor,
oppressed, the sick, the abandoned and neglected. He gave His life on the Cross for us and rose again to new life to redeem
us and reconcile us with you. You sent Your Holy Spirit to the Apostles to continue the work of Your Son and to lead all to
salvation. We thank you, Father, for bringing us from darkness into light. Through Your loving plan, 500 years ago,
missionaries came to our land to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus, Your Son, to our ancestors that made us your people and the
Church. The gift of faith has accompanied us through both darkness and lights, defeats and victories of our history as your
people. Our faith has become for us true light that shines in the darkness. Renew in us the grace of your Spirit that impels us
to be witnesses of Jesus, Your Son, to a world broken by greed, violence, injustice, sickness and suffering. May our faith bring
us to unity as your children to care for, and love one another. May the Holy Spirit empower us to be proclaimers of the Good

News to our brothers and sisters in Asia, and to all nations. Give us the sincere desire to help others to come to faith in the
Lord Jesus to share in your joy and life. May the Blessed Mother, the Star of Evangelization, accompany us and pray for us as
we live and share our faith with others. May our strong love and devotion to her as our Mahal na Ina form us to be true
disciples and witnesses of Jesus to all, always ready to be sent, and to be obedient to whatever Jesus asks of us. We ask this
through Jesus Christ, Your
Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.
St. John Baptist de La Salle, pray for us.
St. Miguel Febres Cordero, pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
