Shake the Dust From Your Feet

Today's gospel reading is: Mk 6:7-13
(here it is - in part)
Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two
and gave them authority over unclean spirits. . . . .
He said to them,
"Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave.
Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you,
leave there and shake the dust off your feet
in testimony against them."

Here it is in Matthew (10:14-15)
“Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words – go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet. Amen, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town."

“It’s not my job to convince. Only to inform.”
Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes (to her disbelieving church and secular leadership)



Well, here are questions for me . . . . Do I inform? Do I share my faith?



BTW! There is a very interesting post that mentions these quotes over at The Anchoress.
