PRI Reflections on Scripture • 9-20-24 - Memorial of Saints Andrew Kim Tae-gŏn, Priest, and Paul Chŏng Ha-sang, and Companions, Martyrs

Gospel Luke 8:1-3 Jesus journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources. Reflection In this passage we see the women again, being more receptive than the men to the healing power that Jesus possessed and shared with these women, and their response was gratitude, but it took the form of service. They wanted to be a part of his ministry. They wanted to support it. Take this time to reflect on these thoughts. And now we'll close with a prayer. Closing Prayer It’s clear in the scriptures that those who really understood who Jesus is are those who receive some wonderful, free, loving gift. Mercy. Help us to be open to this gift so we can truly be drawn into his ministry and become his followers. And we ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices.
