JPS Homily – Fifteenth Sunday Ordinary Time 2015

Homily by Fr. John P. Schlegel, SJ, pastor of the Church of the Gesu (July, 12, 2015) 

“Journey with Jesus as disciples… Someone may learn about Jesus by watching and listening to us… The hardest thing about packing is what not to take, those things that weigh us down. So, leave it behind if it doesn’t lead to the Lord.”

John Schlegel, SJ, Matt Walsh, SJ, & Ministers of the Eucharist share the Body & Blood of Christ to Gesu parishioners at the Easter Vigil, 2015

Mark 6:1-6    “Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits.  He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick — no food, no sack, no money in their belts.  They were, however, to wear sandals but not a second tunic..”
