Jesus Sends Out the 72<\/p>\n
Readings<\/p>\n
Psalm 32 v 1 – 7<\/p>\n
Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
\nBlessed is the nab whose sin the Lord does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit.
\nWhen I kept silent my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
\nFor day and night your hand was heavy upon me: my strength was sapped in the heat of summer.
\nThe I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity.
\nI said “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord” – and you forgave the guilt of my sin.<\/p>\n
Luke 10 v 1 -10<\/p>\n
After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He told them “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs amongst wolves. Do not take a purse or bag or sandals: and do not greet anyone on the road.
\n“When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him, if not, it will return to you. Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the workers deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.
\nWhen you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is set before you. Heal the sick who are there and tell them. ‘The kingdom of God is near you’ But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, ‘Even the dust of your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you. Yet be sure of this: The Kingdom of the Lord is near.’<\/p>\n
