Join Father Justus Pokrzewinski from St. Pius V Priory on Ashland Avenue in Chicago for today's reflection from St. Luke's Gospel. As Jesus preaches from town to town, He doesn't travel alone. The apostles are with Him, and so are the women, "giving of their resources" to support His mission. Father Justus reminds us that Jesus lived a life of community, and 2,000 years later, we're still part of that same preaching band. Married, single, laity, everyone is called to holiness and asked to use their gifts to bring Jesus to others. Supporting the Church isn't just about giving money; it's about helping bring the Good News to the world. How do we accompany Jesus today? By living our Catholic life, the commandments, the sacraments, and sharing the gifts God gives us. ⏱️ **Timestamps** 0:00 – Welcome to A Word of Hope 0:12 – St. Luke's Gospel in the 24th week of the year 0:22 – Why Luke emphasizes accompanying Jesus 0:32 – Jesus preaching from town to town, never alone 0:43 – The apostles and the women who traveled with Him 0:56 – Jesus is not a loner 1:02 – Gethsemane: the exception, not the rule 1:12 – The Church as a Christian family, 2,000 years later 1:30 – Married, single, laity: all part of the preaching band 1:44 – Vatican II: the universal call to holiness 1:52 – How do we grow in holiness? 2:07 – "Giving of their resources": more than money 2:29 – What accompanying Jesus really means 2:34 – Closing blessing 📖 Today's Gospel: Luke 8:1-3 📍 St. Pius V Priory, Ashland Avenue, Chicago #AWordOfHope #DailyGospel #CatholicReflection #GospelOfLuke #Luke8 #FatherJustus #Dominicans #CallToHoliness #VaticanII #CatholicCommunity #Discipleship #CatholicHomily #DailyDevotion #Stewardship #Evangelization #CatholicFaith #BibleReflection #FaithAndHope #CatholicChicago #DailyPrayer
