Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Harvest is Rich” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, great crowds were hungering for the Truth of Salvation. Jesus proclaims, “The harvest is rich, but the labourers are few. . .” Ponder on, “Do we hunger for Jesus’ Good News in our daily living? And, if we do, then do we witness and ‘evangelise’ the faith with courage, zeal and humility?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 9:35-37
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 disease and all kinds of illness.
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 out labourers to his harvest.’
