Readings for the Week

Eph 1:3-14: God chose His followers to be holy, blameless, and filled with love - to be His adopted children in Jesus. In Jesus and through the seal of the Holy Spirit, full redemption shall come to humankind.

Mk 6:7-13: Jesus sent out the Twelve, instructing them to take only a walking stick and to preach the Gospel. If they were refused a listening ear, they should leave the locality. They worked many miracles.
