DAILY HOMILIES #preach as you go

Preaching begins on the pulpit but it is only complete when the minister reaches out to touch the sick, the dead, the lepers, and those possessed. That is why the laborer in God’s vineyard is called to go out to meet the people where they are, to visit their homes. Nonetheless, these visitations should never be limited only to the homes of the rich neither should the laborer complain when he is sent to an area where he has to attend to the needs of the poor. As Jesus puts it: “You received without pay, give without pay, take no gold, nor silver, nor copper. No bag, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff.”
