Since there is no scheduled Saturday Mass on Holy Saturday, today's reflection will be on my All-time Favorite Quotes from the New Testament. I started by making a list of quotes, phrases, and the like that are meaningful to me. Then I rearranged my list into approximately chronological order. Your list most likely would not look the same. There’s a lot that got skipped over.
Steve Leininger's reflections: For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:9)
'Are there any among you who are ill?'
A short story about two of the 72 whom Jesus separated from the rest

Today’s reflection is a short story navigating God’s gift of healing for the 72: Their first encounter engaged them in conversation with a hefty but friendly man and his two hearty boys. The boys spoke rapidly, telling Isidore and Atlan that they were stonemasons. Their necks were thick and their hands large. “Are there any among you who are ill?” Isidore asked the man.
John Pearring's reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." (Luke 10:2)
