26th Week, Ordinary Time, Thursday, 30-09-2021

Nehemiah 8:1-12 / Luke 10:1-12    

Anyone who is sensible enough would not ask for a hard or even dangerous job.

Especially more so if the wages are not attractive at all.

But for the harvest of the Lord, labourers are needed, and it is indeed tough and even dangerous work.

And for that kind of work, the wages are like next to nothing.

So what is there for us if we were to be labourers in the harvest of the Lord?

Obviously it is something that the world cannot give. 

Nor can we achieve it on our own.

And that is none other than the peace that the Lord gives to those who will work for Him and labour in His harvest.

And that is also what Jesus sent His disciples to proclaim - Peace

May the peace of the Lord be in our hearts.

May we also be messengers of God's peace, a peace that the world is so much in need of.
