Itinerant

In net Sunday’s lectionary, we see Jesus instructing his disciples to do their ministry on the move. They are to go from place to place. No thousand-year-old churches for them: not even much in the way of supplies for the journey.

I wonder if modern Christians could cope with ‘travelling light’. I find it’s good to have time to at least do some literal walking around the place.

Living God, help us as we are,
weighed down by plans and responsibilities,
obligations that genuinely bind us,
to rediscover the adventure
of following Jesus.
