TUESDAY 14TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR B. By Tobe Eze

TUESDAY 14TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR B.
1ST READING: HOSEA 8:4-7.11-13
GOSPEL: MATTHEW 9:32-38
THEME: THE WORK STARTS FROM US.
The labourers are really few but the little we have are making serious effort but the problem is that we the farm are not ready and disposed for them. 
Following the first reading, where many of us have made for ourselves places of sin and have forgotten God. Some have already disposed themselves for hellfire. The Israelites made themselves gods that they were worshiping and God was not happy with them and said he will take them back to Egypt to go and suffer again. God is not happy with us, the way we live our Christian life and he is ready to take us back to damnation which he has redeemed us from if we do not change.
The labourers in the gospel are very few till this day. We should help the few working and help also ourselves by putting to practice what they are teaching us. Labourers are called by God and not men. Not that they are few, then we will call ourselves into the harvest as some are doing these days. He asked his apostles to pray for the Lord of harvest to send labourers and not for people to send themselves. As we pray for labourers, let us know that their works can only be fruitful if we start from ourselves and put their teachings into practice. Thanks.
