Gospel
Matthew 9:32-37
The harvest is rich but the labourers are few
A man was brought to Jesus, a dumb demoniac. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke and the people were amazed. ‘Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel’ they said. But the Pharisees said, ‘It is through the prince of devils that he casts out devils.’
Jesus made a tour through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the kingdom and curing all kinds of diseases and sickness.
And when he saw the crowds he felt sorry for them because they were harassed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to his harvest.’
Reflection
The harvest is great but the labourers are few In the past around the 60s and 70s from faith formation to giving communion it was done by the priest. Things change during Vatican council 2 advocate the laity in faith formation and assisting the priest. The door thus open for us to serve Are you serving the church currently?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus give me the strength to serve you
Amen
