Jesus left for the cities and villages ... (Luke 8: 1-3)
Biblical reflections by Mauro Leonardi*, priest and writer
Women who follow Jesus immediately learn that Jesus teaches to love and serve. It is not a question of being people with good credentials or with excellent references: it is about giving yourself to Jesus, without shame, without fear for what you are and offer the immense and free love for others to others.
From the Gospel according to Luca 8: 1-3
At that time, Jesus left for the cities and villages, preaching and announcing the good news of the kingdom of God. There were twelve and some women who had been healed by bad and infirmity with him: Maria di Màgdala, From which Seven Demòni, Giovanna, wife of Cusa, administrator of Herod, Susanna and many others, who attended them with their assets, had come out.
