While Jesus was in the flesh, the Lord sent out the Seventy disciples ahead of Him in pairs to every town and place where He himself intended to visit. Now, Jesus sends us out, two by two, to go before Him into the world. We are to go lightly, with only what we need, remembering that we are peacemakers in a world wounded by hatred, scarred by violence. As Franciscans our first word should be the opening word of “peace.”
