"The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few..."
Matthew 9:38
It is just way too easy to cast this off as a call for clergy! We could easily say, "Oh that doesn't mean ME! I already have my vocation!" Too easy! The fact is, we are all called to serve in the fields of God. But how? I really like this prayer I read just last night. A person in Spiritual Direction prayed to Jesus, "What do you need? What do you want? What would you do?" (Spiritual Direction--Beyond the Beginnings, by Janet K. Ruffing, RSM) Isn't that a neat prayer? God needs you and me working in the fields, teaching people about Jesus through our loving actions. Just how are we to do that, this summer Tuesday? A good start is this lovely prayer..."What do you need, Jesus? What do you want? What would you do?" Then, let's do it! Love, heidi
