Let your first words be, “Peace to this house!”
Lk.10:5
Jesus instructs the seventy-two in preparation for their first mission trip. The first message of the Gospel to be spoken over a household is "Peace!"
Two thousand years ago the world desperately needed to hear words of peace, as it does today. Pope Leo's first words as Pope, "Peace be with you." reverberated around the world, striking a chord with believers and non-believers alike.
I am the 73rd disciple. Let my words today be words of peace.
Peace be with you and with those you love.
Saint Luke, please pray for us.
