Today’s reading is from the Gospel of Luke.

Luke 8:1-3

Soon afterwards [Jesus] went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him, as well as some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their resources.

Spend a moment following Jesus through the cities and villages... What do you notice about how he is “bringing the good news of the kingdom of God”? What inspires you?

We hear of women providing for Jesus and the followers...you might like to think about the women you know today who work to bring about the good news. Take a moment to thank God for them.

Now listen as the piece is read to you once more. Place yourself into the scene and become aware of what you notice...

To finish, you might like to review this time of prayer. What were the thoughts and feelings that surfaced inside you? Can you turn them into a prayer to God in your own words?
