Pray therefore to the Lord
of the harvest that he may thrust out
workers intoHis harvest.
Our Mandate
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the Kingdom and healing every sickness and every malady.
And as he saw the crowds, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and confused “like sheep who have no shepherd.” Then he said to his disciples:
“The harvest, on the one hand , is large, but the workers, on the other, are few.
Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest
that he may send out workers into his
harvest.
And when he had called his twelve disciples together, he gave them authority over unclean spirits so that they could cast them out and heal every sickness and every malady.
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James the son of Zebedee and John, his brother, Philip and Bartholemew, Thomas and Matthew, the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean and Judas the Iscariot, the one who also betrayed him.
