TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jesus said,

“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.”

.

– Matthew 9:37 (NIV)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

In farm work, the harvest is lost if the farmer does not reap at the right time.

.

Christ’s urgent call to harvest has applied throughout the centuries.

There has always been a need to be out harvesting

because there has always been a big harvest ready to be won.

.

Even today, as in the time of Jesus, there is a shortage of labourers.

How am I responding to Christ’s call to harvest?

QUOTE…

.

“The responsibility for spreading the Gospel that saves

belongs to everyone – to all who have received it!

The missionary duty concerns the whole body of the Church;

in different ways and to different degrees, it is true,

but we must all of us be united in carrying out this duty.

.

Now let the conscience of every believer ask himself:

Have I carried out my missionary duty?"

.

– Pope Paul VI

.

.

.

"It is not enough to discover Christ – you must bring Him to others!

The world today is one great mission land,

even in countries of long-standing Christian tradition."

.

– Pope Saint John Paul II

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Come Holy Spirit,

melt me, mould me, fill me…use me!
