Saturday December 6th: From village to village, Jesus walking through Trinbago

“The harvest is rich, but the labourers are few.”

Matthew 9:35–10:1, 6–8,

Jesus walks through towns and villages, teaching, healing, and feeling deep compassion for the crowds. Today, it’s as if He is walking from Toco to Caroni, Maraval to Sans Souci, Scarborough to Cocorite -seeing our crime, sickness, anxiety, and grief.

He is by the taxi stand, in the Health Centre line, outside the rum shop, in the schoolyard. He looks at we people and says again, “The harvest is rich, but the labourers are few.”

He calls the Twelve, gives them authority, sends them to the “lost sheep” with a mission: Proclaim that the Kingdom of heaven is close at hand, cure the sick, raise up the broken, cast out the darkness.

As Roman Catholics in Trinbago, we share that same call.
Every Mass, we receive freely in Word and Eucharist; then Jesus sends us out freely to give—through a visit, a prayer, a message of encouragement, an act of justice or mercy.

The harvest around us is rich. When He whispers:
“Come, I will make you one of My labourers.” I pray for the courage to say, “Look meh Lord, sen meh.”
