Gospel Reflection – February 5, 2026
In this scene, Jesus gives some instructions to His disciples. They are to fulfill the mission without relying on powerful resources. He does not want them to carry many things with them: “no bread, no supplies, no money.” They must place their trust in the very power of the message, which shines and saves on its own. They must also count on the risk of rejection, just as Jesus Himself suffered.
They must also carry compassion and go where evil oppresses people in order to fight it. With “authority from above,” they are not to impose themselves, but to bring humanity to people’s lives, introducing the healing power of Jesus among them.
If we live obsessed with having things and more things, we will forget that there are people who are barely surviving, who are suffering, who perhaps do not even have their “daily bread.” Let us feel those sufferings. Let us not allow our hearts to harden.
