Friday, August 4th
St. John Vianney, Priest
Jesus made a tour through all towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom and curing all kinds of diseases . And when He saw the crowds He was sorry for them because they were harassed and dejected , like sheep without a shepherd . Then He said to His disciples, "the harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to His harvest". He summoned His twelve Disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits with power to cast them out and to cure all kinds of diseases and sickness
Matt.9:35-10:1

As I did then, so do I now. My Church is the sacred tabernacle of My truth, its priests and ministers and people My emissaries They are charged to deliver My gospel of salvation and joy, My healing and the key to the Father's Kingdom. The harvest is greater now than it has been in the whole history of the world, the time for gathering in is approaching.

My Church is my Presence in the world today, and I look for it to become a highway for My ministry to the harassed, the dejected, the sick, the lonely and the wounded in life's way. And each of my beloved and loving disciples must become a true and strong link in the chain, so that all the Father's children may be one - a part of the harvest - and rejoice together and with Us in the Kingdom of eternal light and love.
