Gospel: Luke 10:1-9
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 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.’”

Reflection:
Are you doing something to share the teachings of Jesus?
Like the seventy two which Jesus sent ahead of Him. We too are laborers in the vineyard of the Lord, what is the implication of this to our life? We are also called to share and live the teachings of Jesus.
Jesus told the disciples: “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few.” This is very true until to this very day. The harvest indeed is plentiful but the laborers are so few. Therefore in our own little way let us also be laborers like the seventy two. Let us spread and live the teachings of Jesus, let us not be afraid for God will be with us.
Many of us invest so much of our time in laboring for
this world alone that we forget to labor in the vineyard of the Lord. But where
would our labors for this world bring us? Only here in this world but if we labor
for the Lord we go to the Lord’s kingdom after the end of our journey in this world.
