Fr. Laurence’s Weekly Reflection:
The Lord sent out the Twelve to cast out unclean spirits, which they did, but they did something else first, they “preached repentance.”
They had learned from the Lord that receiving the Lord’s healing required first a submission to him as Lord, recognizing that they were part of a sinful race that had not acknowledged God’s lordship—all those attributes that David praises in the response to the first reading, his grandeur and power, majesty, splendor, and glory.
It’s by submitting ourselves to the divine grandeur in Jesus that we find a share in the riches and honor, power and might, grandeur and strength that he gives to all.
