Focus on proclaiming the Good News!

Friday of week 24 in Ordinary Time

Luke 8:1-3

As simple as it gets, both readings give a well-pointed message: proclaim Jesus!

We can't seem to proclaim because we're too preoccupied with a lot of things.  Though these are important - issues of family, work, health, financial stability and others, St. Paul still gives us a timely reminder - "there are some who, pursuing it, have wandered away from the faith, and so given their souls any number of fatal wounds."

Jesus and his Good News are still of paramount importance in our lives;  the Good News capable of touching people's hearts; of driving away evil spirits and bringing healing to people; the Good News that enables each one to be a follower of Christ.  The Good News is way above our preoccupation in life.  True enough, St. Paul warns: "The love of money is the root of all evil."  Have the courage to be detached from worldly concerns so we may focue on the things of heaven.
