Matthew 10:7-13

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.

Matthew 10:7-13
Jesus said to his Apostles: “As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Cure
the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you
are to give.”

Reflection
The gospel tells us about unconditional love and selfless service. “Wala ng libre ngayon” is a common
saying most people tell because of the crisis we are facing right now. Jesus reminds us that doing good
things does not require anything in return. It is better to give than to receive. This is what DLSP’s “Kada
Uno” campaign is all about. We will experience true happiness when we help those people who are greatly
in need. How did you feel afterwards when you helped someone without expecting anything in return?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that, “Avenues and opportunities for self-propelled individual, collective and institutional life-
affirming action to respond to varied social issues must be provided in every Lasallian institution.” Br. Armin Luistro FSC is one great example of this principle. We do not see him only during the early days of the
pandemic but he is seen everywhere especially if there are issues like human rights violations. His example
is one manifestation of how we must live out this Lasallian value, reverence for life.
