COMPASSIONATE HEARTS, MISSIONARY HANDS
On the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A, the Gospel presents Jesus looking at the crowds with deep compassion, for they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. His compassion does not remain only as a feeling; it becomes a mission. He calls His disciples and sends them out to proclaim, heal, and serve.
The readings remind us that we are God’s treasured people, called to live in covenant love and communion with Him. In Christ, we have been reconciled with the Father and made a priestly people, not for privilege, but for service. The Lord continues to say to us today, “The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few.” Each of us is invited to become a worker in His harvest, carrying mercy, peace, and hope to others.
