Prayer Prompt before reading LK 10:1-12
Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray well, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father is and God the Son so that I may know who I am.
“ASK THE MASTER OF THE HARVEST TO SEND OUT LABORERS FOR THE HARVEST.” LK 10:1-12
Humbly submit your will to God (thy will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Today, Jesus is asking us to pray for our Pope, bishops, priests, religious brothers and sisters, and catechists (don’t forget this includes parents the first educator of God to children). He is asking us to ask God (the master of the harvest) to send laborers for the harvest. If we do not have priests, we cannot get to heaven, plain and simple. We cannot be baptized to have our original sin taken away, we cannot receive the Catholic ER (Eucharist and Reconciliation) when we fail to keep the commandments.
We cannot be consecrated in our vocations of priesthood and marriage or given our last rites before death. We are so blessed in our diocese of Wichita with many vocations, but we can always have more. Many dioceses are suffering in the U.S. and priests are few with many pilgrims to serve. These men and women “carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals” and stay faithful to Christ their whole life. What a great model of love for us! Some spend their whole life in a convent or monastery praying for us! Amazing!
Jesus is also teaching us that some will accept His message and some will not, but we must not become disheartened. Keep living and teaching Jesus, it brings persecution and joy, the reward is eternal life!
Today’s challenge: Pray for our Pope, bishop, priests, seminarians, and religious! Pray for parents, the first educators of their children in the faith!
Be a servant, become a saint!
#Christian YODO (You Only Die Once; we will live again!)
In todays scripture one thing that stuck out to me was Peace to this household.’
If a peaceful person lives there,
your peace will rest on him;
but if not, it will return to you.
This tells me that i need to help others and give them my grace that God gave me. I need to spread the word of God.Because if i do we will all be united someday in Heaven.
In today’s gospel Jesus says “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few.” To me this is saying that there are so many people that could be hearing the word of God but there are so few people who will actually share it. If we all shared our faith there could be so many more people who believed in God too. We need to be the laborers and share the news of God with the world.
He sends his disciples to tell the towns about God and he is coming. So just like us we must spread the word of God for his second coming so we can be prepared to got to heaven with him. The disciples trusted every word he said and din’t question him. So everything God puts in our mind don’t second guest it but listen to what he’s ays and do it.
What truly stuck out to me was how Jesus told his diciples to not carry money bags or sacks or sandles. To me that meant that is powerful because Jesus Son of the living God is telling his deciples to be poor and lowly and that tells me that God is a humble Lord.
What stuck out to me most was “I am sending you like lambs among wolves”. This stuck out to me because we need to be the lambs who are the humble and merciful. But we need to help convert the wolves to turn to Jesus. When we do that everyone will see how happy we are and help convert even more wolves.
The part of this Gospel that stuck out to me was when Jesus said, “Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you, go out into the streets and say, ‘The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you.’” This means to me that if we ever go somewhere or meet someone that does not care for us or what we say we should not waste our time with them and leave because they would have no intention of listening and it would be better to talk to people who are willing to listen.
what stood out to me was how he sent out 72 disciples to 36 different towns!(because it said he sent them out in pairs of 2 soo) he cared about us so much that he decided to send someone ahead of him to tell the towns about him in advance. we are either of the two towns I think, because one does accept and one doesn’t. the towns are like our two choices. we can choose to accept god in or not accept god in.
“Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you, go out into the streets and say, ‘The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you.” We are the laborers and we must go and harvest the children of God and take them with us on our way to heaven. If you come across someone who is trying to turn you away from God you shouldn’t just “oh well I guess they won’t get to heaven, darn” you should help them change there ways and fallow God.
¨Into whatever house you enter, first say,‘Peace to this household.’If a peaceful person lives there,your peace will rest on him;but if not, it will return to you.¨ what i feel like this Gospel speaking by in these words brcause i feel like what Jesus is saying is like. when you meet someone and give them peace and kindness when they are the same way the peace and kindness that you have them will be more meanifull to them. but when you be nice and kind to someone that is mean and not kind to you your kindness is not tooken and valurbed and it just cames back to you if they dont feel the same way.
Today’s Gospel reminded me of St. Francis. Especially the part “Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals;” because St. Francis wasn’t always a good man. He was a womanizer, a wealthy man, and a soldier. But he realized that all these worldly goods meant nothing in the Kingdom of God. So he pushed away his fathers riches and gave them to the poor. He was a great role model because he showed that people can change for the better, and that all these worldly things we all so strongly crave mean nothing in the Kingdom of God.
Something that stood out to me was”Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals.” What I took from that is that you don’t need money, a bunch of clothes, shoes, etc to live a happy life. All you need is God to live a happy life. All you need is to love everyone with your whole heart, mind, and soul.
in the gospel it says “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;” this is referring to way of Jesus because it is a big job but we only have a few teaching the way of God. This means that we have to help the few and teach the world of God.
In the Gospel the master sent them out like sheep among wolfs. Thats like in real life God sent us out to spread his word like sheep, but the devil is like the wolf. He is trying to make it so we can’t spread God’s word; the Trinity strengthens us so that we don’t fall for satan’s traps.
In todays Gospel Jesus tells us how we need to go out and tell of his word. He has a plan for us and loves us very much. We take up our vocation for him. We have an obligation to take up our crosses everyday. We show our love and gratitude for him.
Without our priests there would be no church. there would be no baptism, no Eucharist, no confession. these persists and sisters, bishops, seminarians, brothers, we would fall apart as a whole. we need to pray for them, because they give everything to the Lord. We should strive to be like them.
I am sending you like lambs among wolves.
Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals;
and greet no one along the way.
Into whatever house you enter, first say,
‘Peace to this household
Keep living and teaching Jesus, it brings persecution and joy, the reward is eternal life. i chose it because if u keep living and teaching Jesus then u will get rewarded eternal life in heaven.
¨The Kingdom of God is at hand for you ¨ this is the quote that stuck out to me because it means to me that the Kingdom of God is closer than I think and that I can talk to God at any time I need to, or want to.
Something that stuck out to me was eat and drink what is offered to you. Jesus is telling me to accept what’s offered and given to me. Jesus only wants to help me, so i need to accept that and take whats given and give back to the people I love.
“Behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way.”
I believe that Jesus was telling His apostles that they are different from the sinners in the world that He is sending them out to preach to. We are his desiples and He made us different from all the other people in the world, and we have to go out like “lambs among the wolves”. We are called to be the lowliest of the lowly and give everything up to God, our savior.
“The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few”.This means to me it doesn’t matter how many it matters how hard you work. You can do this by helping people out and if you can’t help out a lot of people try your best to help them as much as you can.
What stuck out to me in today’s Gospel is “The kingdom of God is at hand for you” that’s telling us God is always with us and always has our back even if we sin or make bad decisions. Our goal in life is to become a saint and follow God because he died on the cross for our sins and us. Follow Jesus and you will have peace.
Yet know this: the Kingdom of God is at hand.
What it means to me is that Jesus’s work is at hand and everything that comes your way will be in God’s hands, so don’t worry.
One thing that stuck out to me was the Kingdom of God is at hand. This matters to me because i feel it show s that anyone can make it to Heaven.
that saying stuck out to me because it shows how money is worthless after you die and in life you need to focus on jesus and your faith
Pity me, pity me, O you my friends,
for the hand of God has struck me! This stuck out to me cause the whole time I was reading it kept replaying in my head but I think it stuck out to me cause it is saying pity me and sometimes I can be pity just cause I don’t want to be happy but sometimes there’s not even a reading for me to be pity so it kinda felt like it was telling me to stop.
Jesus appointed seventy-two other disciples whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit.
He 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 to every town and place he intended to visit. This stands out because it shifts the mission from a solo journey to a shared, vulnerable community effort.
“If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.” This verse stuck out to me because it is like the golden rule “treat others how you want to be treated”.
We are all Gods children and are called to serve for the church.Jesus teaches us to exept his message.Today you could do somthing like pray for priests,the pope our bisops,seminarians and all who are religous you could do a Hail Mary ,offer a Mass for them,stay in silence and do a silenced prayed for them.
The kingdom of God is at hand
Jesus is king
I really like the one that says ¨Jesus is also teaching us that some will accept His message and some will not, but we must not become disheartened. Keep living and teaching Jesus, it brings persecution and joy, the reward is eternal life!¨ because it talks about preaching and telling people about God. And that the reward is Eternal Life
what stuck out to me the most is behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. It stuck out to me because life is really hard and it seems like everyone is sending you to do something hard or scary. It feels just like that but so no matter what we always have to remain strong because if we don then we will lose our faith with God. So always stay strong no matter the challenge.
The thing that stuck out to me the most was when it said Peace to this household.’
If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
It stuck out to me the most because it tells us to be peaceful even to strangers who we barely know.
How God was talking and basically saying trust me but you’re gonna have to do hard things to be able to trust Him. Also when He says “This kingdom is at God’s hands”, what this means to me is again trust God but it’s not going to be smooth sailing to get to Him
In today’s gospel what stuck out to me the most is ‘The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.’. To me that means that God is waiting for us to come to him, he wants us to life a good and holy life. He waits for us and loves us eternally and will always forgive us. So we should go to God.
What stuck with me today is “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” I think God is trying to tell me that he will always be there for you and the Holy Family is always present.
What stuck out to me was ” The Kingdom of God is at hand for you”. It stuck out because I feel like God is asking me to come closer to him. To also get better in my faith so I can come up to heaven with him.
Something that stuck out to me was, These men and women “carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals” and stay faithful to Christ their whole life. I think this means that they are not rich but they stay faithful to God and that is all they need to live and Jesus will guide the way to heaven for them.
What stuck out to me was “The Kingdom of God is at hand for you”. It stuck out to me because I feel God is telling me to come closer to him by me getting better in my faith. To also become a better person so I can come up to heaven with him when it is time.
The Kingdom of God is at hand for you. This stuck out to me because I think this is cool. I don’t know exactly why this stuck out to me, but it just did.
What i took from today’s gospel was to take what is given to you and don’t be ungrateful because some people don’t have anything. Now I am going to not take anything for granted and be grateful for my family and that I have nutrition and friends.
Yet know this: the Kingdom of God is at hand. I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than for that town.” This stuck out to me because it is very meaningful and it strikes deep. God will take care of everything and everyone.
Jesus appointed seventy-two other disciples whom he sent ahead of him in pairs
to every town and place he intended to visit. Jesus is saying not just God can do miracles. Those how believe in God and serve God can help and do the works of God.
‘The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.’ This phrase really calls my attention because it is true the kingdom of God is at hand. And God will always have your back and that the kingdom of God is close so you can talk to God anytime you want and anywhere you want.
“The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. This is what stood out to me because it is saying there are a lot of able people but not a lot are doing it.
in today’s gospel Jesus tells his disciples that the kingdom of God is at hand to you showing that if we so choose to be holy we can make it to heaven and be with him eternally.
What stuck out to me about today’s scripture is “The kingdom of God is for you” because it’s saying that God will and always have our back in bad situations. Because God is there for us even if we don’t realize it. And that he sent his son to die for our sins.
People may not accept Christ, but we must continue to teach others about God. Even if the road is rough, we must persevere through it.
Today Jesus talked about how whenever people do not welcome you into their home, leave and find another. If they do welcome you, stay with them, for they have great care for you. This is like friendship. If people are not making good choices, we shouldn’t be friends with them. If they do make choices and bring us up, we should be friends with them.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells 72 extra disples in pairs to travel to lands he intended on traveling to and told them, “Go on your way;
behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.
Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals;
and greet no one along the way.
Into whatever house you enter, first say,
‘Peace to this household.’
If a peaceful person lives there,
your peace will rest on him;
but if not, it will return to you.
Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you,
for the laborer deserves his payment.
Do not move about from one house to another.
Whatever town you enter and they welcome you,
eat what is set before you,
cure the sick in it and say to them,
‘The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.’
Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you,
go out into the streets and say,
‘The dust of your town that clings to our feet,
even that we shake off against you.’
Yet know this: the Kingdom of God is at hand.
I tell you,
it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day
than for that town.”
“The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few,” Heaven will be the most amazing thing anyone will ever experience but so few people are trying to get there. We are called to get to Heaven and bring every soul we can with us.
Today Jesus tells 72 some hard to understand requests but the message is clear.”The Kingdom of God is at hand”, go and make disciples. I saw Mr. Goertz’s reflection and it said a word about vocation. I think that’s just as Jesus sent his disciples to towns we should follow his will when it comes to our vocation. Using what he tells us we can make disciples in everyday life and spread the word of God to all.
We should share the gospel like Jesus instructed the disciples.
the xkrusheating punishment Jesus gives to the toun that rejeckes hie harvesters is a good reminder that we suffer the xcrusheating punishment of hell
Jesus is telling his disciples to go out and spread the gospel. He tells them to live on the road and in poverty, only accepting what’s given to them, never taking more. The people of each town are either with them or against them, and they are to be treated with respect, but they shall voice their dissent to the people.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us to accept the call to our vocation and bring others to serve him as well.
“These men and women “carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals” and stay faithful to Christ their whole life.” We need to strive to be like these men and women. They are faithful and servants of God. They serve not just God, but others around them.
In today’s gospel it stuck out to me that there is an abundant harvest but few laborers. The word of God is plentiful but there are few who will hear and share it. Everyday we have the decision to be laborers or just to be fed. We should always choose to be laborers.
there are many people trillions of them yet so little share there faith we should have some pride in our faith I know pride may be a bad thing but I think its the way you use it and we should pray everywhere at a restaraunt a park a playground everywhere and be the LIGHT OF THE WORLD!!!
Todays Gospel says “ASK THE MASTER OF THE HARVEST TO SEND OUT LABORERS FOR THE HARVEST.” Its telling us that we can ask Jesus for anything. We never need to be scared to ask him anything. He might not always say yes because he knows what is right for us.
I think today´s Gospel is talking about being thankful for what we have. And to be thankful for what we are given.
God is with us and that we don’t need everything like money a big house or anything like that. Than we also should not worry about what will happen because God will protect us and keep us safe.
Today’s Gospel is telling us that we should obey God to spread his Word. He tells them to go to people and bring peace. Take what is offered to you and do not skip from house to house.
God is saying If a peaceful person lives in his house sleep peaceful there if you do not it will return to you. God is also saying always be grateful and never take things for granted.
These men and women “carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals” and stay faithful to Christ their whole life. Out of this I got that it is harder to get to heaven if you are richer because you will have nonspiritual things misguiding you. They do this to make it seem like Christs poor life always traveling.
“‘Peace to this household.’ If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.” This reminded me of how Gods message needs to fall onfertile ears. This aslo means that I need to be ready for God’s will for me.
What I got from this gospel is to honor strangers even if you don’t know if they are either peaceful or not. and that if we offer peace to those who are peaceful they will hold that peace. But if you give peace to someone without peace you will get the peace you offered to them back. So no matter what you should always be the one to offer peace to someone.
we must spread the word of god, and also be humble. god will help us along the way but we must do his work and help others into the kingdom of heaven too.
‘Peace is a household’: This stuck out to me because to me it seems like God is trying to say that your household should be peaceful. I also think God is trying to say that there is not enough peace in the world.
What stuck out to me in the daily gospel is that you should not be greedy or too needy and to “eat and drink what is given to you”.
In the gospel, Jesus said, “Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’ If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.” Jesus is telling the apostles to carry no possessions with them, and giving them authority to let peace rest upon people, and if that peace will return to them if there is not a peaceful person in that house. In the same way, we must always carry Jesus in our hearts, and not material possessions, and be kind, greet everyone, and spread the Gospel.
“peace to the household if a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him but if not it will return to you
I like that it says if u give something to someone that’s your peace but if u don’t then will return to u to retry again so because like the golden rule
“If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.” I think this stuck out to me because it is like ‘If you do good, good thinks will come to you’.
What stuck out to me was the ¨ kingdom of God is at your hands ¨what it means to me is that gods work and kingdom of god is at our hands.
I think what stood out to me was when the Gospel said to say “Peace to this household and peace will be given to the person if they are a peaceful person and if they aren’t peace will be given to you” I think that it’s saying that for me because my life is not peaceful and I just need some peace.
Something that stuck to me was ¨ If a peaceful person lives there,
your peace will rest on him ¨ I think this means that if someone is peaceful then you will follow their example and be peaceful too. Jesus did that with his disciples the disciples followed Jesus ´ doing and they all acted like him.
One thing that stuck out to me in the gospel is ” The harvest is Abundant but the labors are few” I think it stuck out to me because I think it means Jesus talks to everybody if you let him into you heart but only a few people actually listen to him and let him in there hearts.
Something in today’s gospel that stuck out to me is‘The dust of your town that clings to our feet,
even that we shake off against you.’ I Think that thing could mean that when we are ascended into heaven, we are reborn, shaking off the evil things and bad thoughts off of us so we can live peacefully in god’s kingdom
the part that stuck out to me is when Jesus said to the laborers to say if the house you go to does not welcome you then go out on the street then say “The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you”.
A part in today’s gospel that stuck out to me was “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few” to me I think it means that there are so many people and places God’s word needs to be preached yet not enough Christians to do so, So we need preach and contribute to the church so the Christian community can grow.
What stuck out to me was that Jesus said to take no money bag, sack, or even sandals. Then he says that they will come to a house and give their peace. I think this mirrors how God tells us to leave everything and follow him even if the future is uncertain.
The part of the gospel that stuck to me was ¨ Into whatever house you enter, first say,
‘Peace to this household.’ If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.¨ that stuck to me because I personally think that God is saying if someone treats you well you must treat them with respect and give them your peace, but if you respect someone and they don show respect back then you must keep your peace for yourself and move somewhere else and let God handle it
i feel like “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few” because i feel like there are so many people who love god but don’t go out of their way to help someone in need or go to church
Something that stuck out to me was “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few”. I think it means that the word of God needs to be spread, but few people actually share it with the world.
One thing that stuck out to me in the gospel today was ¨ the harvest is abundant but the laborers are few ¨ this stuck out to me because it shows me that many do not know the word of God and that the ones who know the word of God need to give it to those who do not know the word of God.
behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.
Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals;
and greet no one along the way.
Into whatever house you enter, first say,
‘Peace to this household.’
If a peaceful person lives there,
“The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few” it means to have more people love him and work if heaven is huge. That’s what it meant to me in this relfection to Jesus.
“And I tell you, ask and you will receive;
seek and you will find;. What this means to me is that if I constantly seek Jesus he will give me all I need.
When I read this the first thing I think of is, that is so wise! the verse that stood out to me was “take no sack, no sandals, and don’t greet anyone” That is so cool. That makes me feel like I need NOTHING but God.
10/1/26 Whoever humbles himself like this child
is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. This stuck out to me because when I become a thing so simple such as becoming humble I’ll be the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
I think one quote that stood out to me is “behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals;”. I think that overall this quote is great because it shows that he will send you but still guide you.
the part that stuck out me the most was the part where Jesus said we don’t need money bags and riches because were rich in gods lov
