In today’s Gospel, we read the story of Martha and Mary who, with their brother, Lazarus, were Jesus’ friend. Luke does not mention Lazarus. He is mentioned in John’s Gospel. Last week Bishop Emeritus Sydney Charles from Grenada had lunch at my father’s home in Maraval. While my elder sister, Kamala, cooked up a ‘storm’, laid the table to perfection and was the perfect hostess when he arrived, I rushed in from a meeting at Archbishop’s House, sat at the table with the Bishop and listened to his words of wisdom.

Gospel: Lk. 10:25-37
There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test him and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
He said in reply, You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
Gospel: Lk 10:1-12, 17-20
At that time the Lord appointed seventy-two others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs
to every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.
