In today's Gospel we hear Jesus sending the 72 disciples out. The travel instructions He gives them were to provide focus for these missionaries.

First, they were to travel light and quick, depending totally upon the hospitality of strangers.

Next, they were to greet a host family in such a way that their mission would be clearly communicated; their greeting would identify them as messengers of God's Kingdom and His Messiah.

Third, the pair was to remain with one family in an area and eat with them as honored guests (this, and only this, was their reward). If they went from family to family, their movement might distract from their mission (families would compete for the honor of hosting distinguished strangers, instead of listening to the message) and cause scandal (people might infer the missionaries were shopping for the best deal).

Finally, they were to eat what was presented to them, no matter where they traveled. These instructions helped the missionaries concentrate on the work before them.

No matter where you go, no matter what reason you have for travel, how can you bring the Good News to others you visit?

The month of July traditionally honors the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. It is the blood of Christ, the Lamb of God, which cleanses us from sin—therefore the Church developed a devotion to Jesus' physical blood and its mystical power, just as it did for His Sacred Heart from which His blood poured out on the Cross. The Precious Blood of Jesus courses through the Church spiritually, giving eternal life to the Body of Christ through the sacraments. Many saints had a devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus, especially St. Catherine of Siena. This devotion was later approved and recommended by the Holy See. The feast day of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus is July 1. ... See MoreSee Less

"Who do you say that I am?" Who is this Jesus? This question has been asked over and over throughout the centuries. For Christians, the answer is simple: Jesus is God's Son and the bridge between the Father and His people. He is our Savior and Lord, the one who died to redeem us.

Who is Jesus for you? Where does He fit into the meaning of your life?

A man dies and goes to Heaven when Peter meets him at the Pearly Gates. Peter says, “You need 1000 points to make it into Heaven. You tell me all of the good things you’ve done, and I give you a certain number of points for each item. When you reach 1000 points, you get in.”
“Okay,” the man says, “I was happily married to the same woman for fifty years and never cheated on her, not even in my mind.”
“That’s wonderful,” says Peter, “that’s worth two points!”
“Two points?” he says. “Well, I attended church all my life and gave my ten percent tithe faithfully.”
“Terrific!” says Peter. “That’s definitely worth a point.”
“One point? My goodness! Well, what about this: I started a soup kitchen in my city and worked in a shelter for the homeless?”
“Fantastic, that’s good for two more points,” he says.
“TWO POINTS!” the man cries. “At this rate the only way I can get into Heaven is by the grace of God!”
“Now that’s what we’re looking for! Come on in!”
