A DIFFERENT STRATEGY The Word Exposed with Cardinal Tagle (July 14, 2024)
We are on the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time; and in today’s gospel, we would read how Jesus sent his twelve disciples.
He sent them two by two, and gave them authority over unclean spirits. We know in the end that they successfully preached, drove out demons, and healed the sick.
Aside from this, brothers and sisters, what also calls our attention is how specific Jesus was with his instructions to the Twelve. They can only bring a walking stick and wear sandals. They were to stay in the house that would welcome them, but leave those who would not, “shak[ing] the dust off their feet in testimony against them.”
When Jesus sent them by two’s and to travel lightly, he was teaching them that mission is an act of community. Missionaries should rely on Providence and people’s good will. After all, they were sent for a mission, not for conquest. So the “strategy” must be missionary
