“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.

Prayer Prompt before reading LK 10:1-12: Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father and God the Son are so that I may know who I am.

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!

In our homes, how many moms and dads have given up their life to serve their children. They have given up their social life, hanging with friends, what they want to do to give their children a better life. They get up every day and go to work to put a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes on our back. They give up their time to rest after work to cook supper, go to the grocery store, drive us to practices, and support us in our extracurricular activities. When is the last time we have said thank you and I love you?

Our vocations to the priesthood, religious life, or marriage teach us how to serve. Our vocations teach us how to sacrifice and love with the highest form of love, agape love, or sacrificial love. This is the love that the Father and Son have for us and we live our true identity out in these vocations.

Second, Jesus is telling 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, religious, catechists, and parents!

Be a servant, be a saint today!

    We are called to serve the church. Just like the stewards of the church and our parents and grandparents, brothers and sisters, and so much more. We are called to preach the word of the Lord and go out to all the world, and do all that is good.

    Baptism is very important. If you don’t get baptized your sins aren’t washed away. You are not a child of God by definition. That’s why it’s important because if you are not a child of God you can’t get to heaven and that’s everyone’s goal so we can all live happily with our Lord and Savior.

    In todays Gospel we see the first time that we are called to live a life of poverty. In doing such we can finally see that Jesus is the only way to true happiness or joy. We can strive to live a life of holiness by getting rid of everything we don’t need and giving to others.

    Today something that stuck out to me was that even if they rejected them from their city or house you still preach to them. This sticks out to me because of the persistence that I must’ve taken to get rejected from a house and still preach to them. If you had been excepted you were to take everything that was given to you. He also sent them out with NOTHING not even shoes. He said to talk to no one on your way to the house or city. This is kind of weird to me because why would he not want them to preach to everyone.

    Something that I got out of this, was that Jesus may come in ways that we are not expecting him to come to us. Most of us humans expace him to come with trumpets and angels coming down to talk to us, yet almost 99% of the time it is the exact opposite. He comes to us in the quiet of our own homes, late at night, when nobody is with us or looking at us, and when he shows himself to us, we should realize what it is, that it is God, and to listen, like the nuns that came here a few days ago, most of time God sounds just like us when he talks to us, and we should be able to filter out what is not him, and just our imagination, and what is God trying to tell us something. I kind of think of it like this, if you were blind, and your mom called you, you would instantly know that it was your mom, why because you have known her the first day you were born, but it somebody that we have never talked to in our life called us, I bet you $1,000,000 that you would not be able to tell who it was, and that is the same way with God, that the more we talk to him, and the more we have a relationship with him, the more we will recongnize his voice, and the better that we can listen to him, and that is something that we should all strive to do.

    “When is the last time we have said thank you and I love you?” Today God is telling me that we should be grateful for our parents. Just because they can’t do everything right doesn’t mean we should hate them. We should keep on caring and loving for them even when you get mad at them. They are always gonna be here for you even if you don’t think so. Some parents might not but most parents will. You will always be apart of them whether you like it or not. Instead of hating them you should love them and thank them for all that they do, and after all they give you a free house and free food and free water and free everything basically. So next time you see them make sure you tell them you love them because you never know when its their last time saying it.

    Today God said to send laborers to harvest. In our lives it is not really like this but kind of is but our parents or priests and teachers and kind of like the laborers because they are influencing everything we do in life. For example our parents take us to sports and school and go to work almost everyday to provide for us which is what I would say is labor. Our priests pray for us every day and look over the church and say mass and talk to God in some way every day. Our teachers have to teach us almost every day and they take care of us too which is pretty hard I would say. We need to make sure we acknowledge them in what they do.

    The journey to heaven is nothing like we expect. As followers for Christ, in the gospel it tells us that we shall travel with nothing. No money, no sandals, no possession of ours. It doesn’t matter, we have something that is so so so much better than money. It’s the love of God, we don’t have to earn his love, we don’t have to work for his love, we don’t even have to trade it because we always have it wherever we go. God’s love is so wide so long that we can’t reach the end of it. we need to realize that it’s our duty to use God’s love as a way to share it. We don’t trade it for anything, because we already have his love right here in front of us. so let us share his love with others because people need to know that there is someone longing for them. They just need to know.

    It is good to honor our father and mother who love us and give up themselves for us. We should make sure that we show them that we appreciate what they do. It is necessary to have priests because without them we wouldn’t be able to receive many sacraments and we wouldn’t be able to have as close of a relationship to God as we do now. We should keep everyone who has helped us grow closer to God in our prayers and we should try to help others too.

    “In our homes, how many moms and dads have given up their life to serve their children.”
    I like this because its something I feel us kids sometimes skip over. Our parents spend there time taking care of us, putting a roof on our head, putting clothes on our back, feeding us, and working hard so we can have a good life. They given up there time with family and and friends, and aslo give time to take us places, and getting us stuff. This goes with the Gospel because Jesus is saying whoever takes them in be greatful, like how we need to be greatful to our parents.

    today’s gospel talks about how if we didn’t have priests then we wouldn’t be able to go to heaven at all and it also talks about how we need more Catholic leaders like Pope, bishops, priests, religious brothers and sisters, and catechists . Also that if we didn’t have any of those religious leaders at all they wouldn’t be able to get us to heaven which would be the biggest goal in life.

Our faith will always be able to drift off but after baptism God will be with you forever.

Don’t ever say you hate your parents or that they’re mean and always forgive them because they don’t have to get you a new phone they don’t have to get you new clothes they don’t have to buy you random stuff for your room. They’re doing that because they love you so don’t say that they don’t care about you or that they won’t get you anything you want. You’re lucky if you even have a roof over your head. So be grateful. I mean you’re lucky to even have/wear clothes, some people don’t even have clothes or they have some but they are falling apart. So be grateful!

Have you ever prayed for God? That’s one question that doesn’t get asked enough. If you think about it we pray for someone that is hurt or in great loss, God has taken all of our sins and yet some of us don’t pray for him.

He is telling us to go out in the world and preach the gospel so that all may hear it.We are called to be missionaries and to spread the word.I think that is what He is telling us to do in today’s scripture reflection.

    In today’s gospel, Jesus tells a bunch of apostles to go out to towns and go help them with harvest and send out peace. I think that this is kind of like what we need to do. We need to go preach the gospel and have peace.

    “Whatever town you enter and they welcome you,eat what is set before you,” This stuck out me because I think he is trying to tell me to be grateful for what I have. We always want more and more instead of being grateful for what we have already.

    In the Gospel, God is telling us that we dont have to have money to be a part of him. The only richness we need, is our love. If we are rich in love, we can get to heaven by showing that love through good deeds.

    Jesus is telling us how to follow him in today’s Gospel. We should not have extravagant items or experiences, but trust in people. His disciples did not have their own food, but only had what others gave them. They did not go from house to house begging people to give them food. They would ask one family and if they did not get anything they would leave town and not return.

    What stuck out to me was your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. This stuck out to me because it reminded me of sin. Are sins are always forgiven but lots of times we still sin and and it comes back and we have to keep going to confession. This reminded me to always try our hardest not to sin and especially try not to do the sin that you normally keep committing.

    The thing that I noticed about the Gospel, is that Jesus used a parable, kinda, to portray his disciples as lambs, “behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.” This stuck out to me because it He was telling his disciples that they were entering the dangerous territory.

    Today’s gospel is telling us about disciples that made sacrifices, “Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals;”. We are called to help out all that we meet. God is calling us to be missionaries and to spread the gospel to people. Our parents and many other people have made sacrifices for us that we don’t know of. We need to protect our faith and try to say thank you to people that have made sacrifices.

    Our vocations to the priesthood, religious life, or marriage teach us how to serve. I knew priesthood and religious life taught you how to serve but I never thought of marriage teaching us how to serve. There is a lot of sacrifice when it comes to marriage. It does teach us how to serve in many different ways.

    In today’s Gospel, Jesus told 72 other disciples to go teach about God to the other people. We should go out and teach the Word of God to other people so they can also go to Heaven. We should be more grateful to our parents because they gave us a home, clothes, food, and a good education. We should also be grateful for Jesus because He died on the cross to save us from sin.“The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; I like this quote because everyone is equal and treated properly.

    “Yet know this: the Kingdom of God is at hand.” We never know when our judgement day will come, therefor we must always be kind, gentle, and loving to all. If we aren’t it seems very hypocritical to expect the same from others and God. We need to treat others as we wish to be treated, and love others as we wish to be loved, and care as we want to be cared for. Always take to chance to love others because God is just around the corner.

    I think that the gospel is trying to tell us is that we need to love out parents and siblings. This means that we have to go the extra mile for them. We need to pray for them, even when there not sick. We should clean there rooms or do there laundry even if they tell you that you don’t need to help them. We should care for our siblings the same every day, we shouldn’t be happy for them just because they won a trophy or something, we should be happy for them anytime, whether there sad or mad, we should always care for them because they are family and family comes first.

    People do so much for us and we don’t even notice! Are parents give up so much for us to be happy, even when it hurts them in the process. They care about us so much more than themselves. Priests do so much for us, they baptize up, give us communion, and so much more. So many people in our lives do things for us and we either are to busy on our phones, in our heads, or whatever, we need to notice what people do for us and be thankful.

    I think the message today was to preach the gospel, and don’t be afraid of the reactions you might get. “If a peaceful person* lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.” I think this is saying that try your best to help people understand about God, but don’t be afraid or mad if they don’t accept it. Just keep trying.

    “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” Jesus says this in our Gospel today, He is saying that we must repent now for we don’t know when our time is up. The only way to receive the sacraments are by priests, they are the laborers and we are the harvest. They are the ones who help us get to Heaven and without them we would not be able to. Therefore, we need to pray for them and peace in their lives and for them to continue to lead others to God. Our parents are our only teachers for the first 3-5 years of our life, they teach us the fundamentals of life and how we get to Heaven. We need to pray for our parents and thank them for all they do for us and teach us.

    and he is also telling them to say peace be with this household and if the man or women inside has peace that stay there but if he or she does not then go outside and say “The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you.

    “Jesus is telling us that some will accept His message and some will not, but we must not become disheartened,“ What I get from this is that not all of us will be called but we can still help others. Someone might not have been introduced by Jesus at a young age like us so we can help them come to Jesus. I also took away that we should be grateful for our parents. They do the most for us we should treat them the same. It is like the verse MT 25:40 whatever you do to the least of my people you do to me.

    I think what God is trying to tell us here today is that we don’t need unnecessary materials, such as phones or anything that distracts us. Like in the Gospel, when it says “Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals,” this “sending” could reference our lives. Those three items mentioned could represent those unnecessary materials! In our lives, ask yourself, “do I really need this?” or “does this matter now?” It will help you push away those things that you wouldn’t need and lead you to the more important things in life.

For me, sometimes I’m afraid that if I show that I love my faith I will be ridiculed and I’m trying to push through that fear and respond to that with love because we must be like lambs among wolves.
