Thought for Wednesday September 23

Blessed be God, who lives forever.
Bless the Lord, all you his chosen ones,
and may all of you praise his majesty.
Celebrate days of gladness, and give him praise.
Blessed be God, who lives forever.

Luke 9: 1 – 6  Jesus summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

Why did Jesus bring them all together for this?  Is this power something that should be entrusted to 12 individuals?

Action:  Send one of your elected representatives a letter this week just to tell him that you respect the complexity of the issues he is facing and appreciate his service.
