Mystery of the day: Joyful
Celebration: Feast of St. Luke (Evangelist )
"The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest. Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves..." (Luke 10:2-3)
The call to be co-workers in the Lord's vineyard comes with rigorous challenges. It does not matter whether you are called to be a teacher, an evangelist, a prophet/prophetess, an occupant of an exalted position in the state or society, a wheel barrow pusher, tailor, palm wine tapper etc. Whatever you are called to do, be reminded that the invitation comes with challenges.
In our reflection today, Christ reminded us that we are being sent as lambs in the midst of wolves. Which signifies that the call is not going to be an easy one; but His presence will abide with us. That is to say that, God is with us no matter the situation.
Therefore, let our daily task be that which gives God glory and honour. Let us in our daily struggle encounter God. As a teacher, teach what is ought to be taught, turn the blackboard into the "Divine Temple" where God can be encountered. As a speaker, let every audience listening to you beomes divinely inspired through you. Be zealous in doing what is right as St. Paul in his second letter to the Thessalonians says: "My brothers, never grow tired of doing what is right." (2 Thessalonians 3:13)
Finally, in everything we do let it be a platform to encounter God. And anything worth doing should be done well.
Peace! Be with you.
Fada PIUSRALPH prays for you.
Let us pray 🙏
Merciful Lord, thank You for the gift of creation. Grant us the grace we beseech Thee to savour the sweetness of your creation. In our daily task, give us joy in service. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
