Note: (Apologies for the absence of yesterday's slice of bread: a mission of mercy took me beyond posting time.)
As we begin the season of Autumn with its welcome and unwelcome changes, we read in today's short Gospel Passage of the support a loyal group of women gave to Jesus and the Twelve. We hear their names a bit about them: some cured of evil spirits and infirmities, and in gratitude, no doubt, provided for Jesus and his co-workers, from their own resources. (cf. Lk 8:1-3).
We find here a model for our own current need to support the work of on-going evangelization: forming a name-by-name relationship with with Jesus and the people we serve; giving of our own resources of time, talent, and finances, and keeping in mind our sinfulness and the mercy of Jesus who forgives "seventy-seven times" and urges us to continue with him despite our sinfulness...As it was with him then, so it is today.
