18th October 2018 Thursday Twenty-eight Sunday in Ordinary Time - St. Luke

Reflection
2 Timothy 4:10-17, Luke 10:1-9
“Go forth and proclaim!”
Today, Jesus looks at the crowds of people who are seeking for meaning in life and yearning to hear the Good News of God’s love. Today, He looks at us and asks us, “Can I count on you?”

We tend to associate this well-known phrase of sending more labourers to the harvest with the need to pray for more priestly and religious vocations. However, Jesus in today’s gospel did not indicate specific people to be labourers to God’s harvest. He does not exclude any person from the task of working in His mission. Whether we are elderly, young, married, working, studying, etc. we are all called to respond to Jesus’ call to take part in His mission!

Let us allow Jesus to make use of us so that we can bring more people closer to His love. May we also be filled with the passion for mission!

Question for reflection:
Am I willing to let God use my life for His mission of love?
