10.17.13

Lectio: Lk 10.1-9   

 Meditatio:"He [Jesus] said to them, ‘The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest’.” Lk 10.2

Oratio: O God, You intended that we be Your hands, Your feet, Your touch, Your eyes, Your love for others so that they may come to know You, love You and serve You and be with You forever.
|
I remember Jesus urged His first followers to pray that there would be enough who would willingly go out and proclaim the Good News so that the great multitude may come to You.

Grant that I may pray always for vocations so that the laborers Jesus needs for the harvest will be there in great numbers and meanwhile do my part to proclaim the Good News with the life I live.

I ask this and all things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Contemplatio: spend some time in silence and meditate on the selected passage and hear what
God is saying to you.

Operatio: reflect: "harvest...laborers”; the people of the world, who need to hear the Good News;  and the missionaries, both domestic and international, who proclaim the Good News; sadly they are presently few in numbers but continual prayer for vocations will yield in God’s time the laborers He wants to harvest the many who would accept the Good News if they only had it proclaimed to them.
