The Mission of the Seventy-Two

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them out ahead of him in pairs, to all the towns and places he himself would be visiting.  And he said to them, 'The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to do his harvesting. Start off now, but look, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.Take no purse with you, no haversack, no sandals. Salute no one on the road. Whatever house you enter, let your first words be, "Peace to this house!" And if a man of peace lives there, your peace will go and rest on him; if not, it will come back to you. Stay in the same house, taking what food and drink they have to offer, for the labourer deserves his wages; do not move from house to house. Whenever you go into a town where they make you welcome, eat what is put before you. Cure those in it who are sick, and say, "The kingdom of God is very near to you." But whenever you enter a town and they do not make you welcome, go out into its streets and say.
Luke 10: 1-12

Inspired by the Gospel of Luke and what Father Dave Korth discussed in his homily this past weekend, we encourage you to pair up with another person, parishioner or non-parishioner, to go out and approach someone and invite them to Sacred Heart next weekend.

​We ask that you pray about whom you will approach. Is it someone in your neighborhood? Someone at work? A family member? Is it a fallen-away Catholic or a non-catholic? 

This experience tests us to see where we are in our quest to be a missional community, a five-year goal of the Archdioceses of Omaha.
