Thursday of Week 14

Readings: Gn 44:18-21,23b-29; 45:1-5 / Ps 105 / Mt 10:7-15


WITHOUT COST




Today we can't do anything without money. Everything has a price. Everywhere we go we have to pay for the necessities of everyday life. So the command of Jesus to the disciples sounds very anachronistic: «Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts; no sack for the journey, or a second tunic, or sandals, or walking stick». How can we do that? And why we have to give up all the means and ways our society put on ours disposal? It's just the same Master who gives the answer: «Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give». The most important things in the life have no price. We can't neither pay nor sell for them. True feelings, deep relationships, good times: these are the best part of mankind experience. Like Joseph and his brothers found out, only the forgiveness permits us to live free and happy. Without cost!
