Today is Wednesday the 18th of October, the Feast of St. Luke.

The Cape Town Camerreta sings on Zavada, the Lord's Prayer in Africa.

The Lord's Prayer in Africa, the Lord's Prayer in Africa.

The Lord's Prayer in Africa.

Today's reading is from the Gospel of Luke.

After this the Lord appointed 70 others and sent them on a head of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself intended to go.

He said to them, the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

Therefore asked the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.

Go on your way, see, I am sending you out like lambs into the midst of walls, carry no purse, no bag, no sandals, and greet no one on the road.

Whatever house you enter first say, peace to this house, and if anyone is there who shares in peace, your peace will rest on that person.

But if not, it will return to you.

Remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the laborer deserves to be paid.

Do not move about from house to house.

Whenever you enter a town and its people welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick who are there, and say to them, the kingdom of God has come near to you.

We hear clear detailed instructions from Jesus to 70 of his followers as he sends them out to prepare the ground of his own arrival on the scene.

It is going to be far from comfortable, far from easy. They will be vulnerable, they are to travel with nothing.

And with all of that, they are to bring a message of peace.

What kind of people do you think Jesus chose?

You are the only one in the world.

You are the only one in the world.

You are the only one in the world.

You are the only one in the world.
