Reflection
Ecclesiastes 1:2-11, Luke 9:7-9
“A series of daily encounter”
Herod the tetrarch asked, “Who is this?” as He heard all the things that Jesus did. He was moved with intense desire to see Jesus, out of curiosity and fear.
What about us? Why do we go to Jesus? Do we yearn to get something out of Him? Or do we simply desire to be with Him?

Today, let us ask Jesus to reveal Himself to us. We desire to know Jesus more so that we can love Him and enter into a deeper intimate relationship with Him. It is the daily encounter with Jesus that brings us to transform our lives and follow Him with greater enthusiasm and joy.

Reflection
Proverbs 21:1-6,10-13, Luke 8:19-21
“Listen and do”
Today, Jesus calls us to be committed members of God’s family. We can truly say that we are God’s children only when we hear His Word and faithfully put it into practice. Every day, we need to set time and space for God where we listen attentively to His Word. God speaks to us through life’s events and circumstances. He speaks to us through people. He speaks to us best through Scripture. We must listen first before we do what He tells us.

Reflection
Proverbs 30:5-9, Luke 9:1-6
“Take Nothing... Trust”
Jesus’ whole life exuded His trust and surrender to God His Father. Everything He did was done out of genuine trust in God. In today’s gospel, Jesus set the Twelve together and sent them out to preach about the Kingdom of God. Interestingly, He did not instruct them on what they should take with them in this mission, but He told them what not to take. “Take nothing for the journey: neither staff, nor haversack, nor bread, nor money, and let none of you take a spare tunic.”
