In today's Gospel we hear of the disciples of Jesus being sent forth to spread the Good News and find new disciples so the message of repentance and salvation may be announced to the ends of the earth.
We find that the harvest (the potential people of God) is plentiful, but those willing and able to reap (seek out and present to the Lord of the harvest) are few.
Consider... what happens to the harvest if it is not reaped in time? It may die, be eaten by vermin, be destroyed by storms, droughts or fire... So too the potential people of God. If they do not hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ as He intended... they may die without the joy of the love of God in their hearts. They may be devoured by a corrupted message from heretics and schismatics. They may succumb to the odious powers of a secular relativist society which pretends to be natural and positive but is actually life and soul destroying.
Don't settle for the few workers. If you are not one of the laborers, you are no better than the vermin or the destructive storms and fires. Don't let the sheep stealers and grain grifters take from right under your noses a single child of God.
May almighty God bless the harvest and His labourers. Give them peace, fortitude and kindness in their daily lives. May their words, works and example be a true witness to our Lord Jesus Christ.
