Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen. Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

Listen to this verse at the end of Matthew Chapter 9.

And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and

proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction.

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them because they were harassed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd.

So Jesus is carrying out his public ministry, preaching, healing, praying, building up the kingdom of God, and it just hits him.

How many people who need help?

All those who have yet to be brought into the kingdom, brought into God's family in

union with Christ. There are so many people in the world and all of them are designed for happiness for

holiness for intimacy with the Lord and for heaven but look how lost so many of them are, wandering through life, totally clueless, like sheep without a shepherd.

So then Jesus tells his disciples, he can't be the only one to do this work, and then he said to them,

the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

Therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.

All... into his harvest. All Jesus disciples, all of us, we all have to work in the in the

kingdom, in the fields. All of us have to work with Christ in

building up the kingdom of God and it's a big, big world, a big, big harvest, and we are all supposed to be laborers and the sacrament that gives us

the power to do this?

Well, it's the sacrament of confirmation.

Our Father who art in heaven, hollow it be your name.

Thy kingdom come, thy it be your name.

Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
