THURSDAY 1ST OCTOBER
Luke 10:1-12:
“The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest. Go your way!
Also today, as in the time of Jesus, the harvest is great and the workers are few.
Even without knowing it, our world hungers and thirsts for God because it hungers and thirsts for peace and justice, forgiveness and mercy, goodness and beauty, love and acceptance. Our world is like an immense crop that is waiting for God’s rain because it is dying of thirst.
And it is waiting for workers who will set out to overcome the obstacles, putting in all their effort, ready to keep going, travelling light and not afraid of tiredness.
Get on the road today! Get in tune with the whole Church which, following Pope Francis, wants to live “going forth”.
We do not evangelize from a position of paralysis or with our arms crossed quietly sitting in an office or an armchair.
We evangelize by going out of ourselves and setting out on the road.
Let us also ask the owner of the harvest to send workers into his harvest.
Good day to you.
