TRAVELING LIGHT
God's kingdom is often compared to a "harvest" in the Scriptures. It is an image that perhaps meant more to other cultures, in other ages than our own. Traditionally, today's Gospel is used to preach for an increase in the response to the vocation to the priesthood and religious life. And while that idea is very much valid, there is a much more important message for all of us in the narrative. If we substitute the word "church" for "harvest" we can hear the Lord reminding us that it is by God's favor that we belong to this chosen community.
