The crowds were amazed and said, \u201cNothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.\u201d But the Pharisees said, \u201cHe drives out demons by the prince of demons.\u201d\u00a0Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, \u201cThe harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Opening Prayer: <\/b>Jesus, have mercy on me. Too often, I have wandered, like a sheep, away from your truth. If it is your will to send me out as a laborer, grant me the humility to seek always your ways and your wisdom, that others may, through me, be guided back to you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Encountering Christ:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Are We the Bringer or the One Brought?:<\/b> The demons had taken away the possessed man\u2019s very ability to speak.\u00a0It is only because he was <i>brought <\/i>to Jesus, St. Matthew\u2019s Gospel recounts, that he could be healed, and could then speak for himself. Do we (gently) bring to Jesus those who cannot even speak his name?\u00a0Do we guide those around us toward an encounter with the living God of love? Or, perhaps, we are, or were, like the mute man in the story, the one brought to Jesus for restoration. In either circumstance, we should praise Jesus. \u201cI will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall be always in my mouth\u201d (Ps 34:2). With the praise of Jesus on our lips we will be powerful evangelizers, sons and daughters with hearts full of gratitude for all Jesus does for us.<br \/><br \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Jesus Is Powerful, Yet He Wants Our Assistance: <\/b>Jesus didn\u2019t just heal a little bit, here and there. The Gospel reminds us he went to \u201call the towns and villages,\u201d preaching the Good News, healing the sick, and driving out demons. But his work was not completed alone. Crowds began to gather, and Jesus asked his followers for their help.\u00a0The \u201charvest\u201d (of souls) was abundant, but the \u201claborers\u201d were few, even in Jesus\u2019 time. Later, as the infant Church was growing, the Apostles appointed the first deacons to help them with the ministry (cf. Acts 6:1-15). How do we assist him in our life?\u00a0Are we open to his call and obedient to his instructions, or do we let worldly cares or technological distractions drown out his voice?<br \/><br \/><b><\/b><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>How Often Do We Wander?: <\/b>Jesus saw the crowds and was \u201cmoved with pity\u201d for these \u201csheep without a shepherd.\u201d\u00a0Our urbanized modern world may not provide us with many encounters with sheep, but those who heard this Gospel before around 1940 had experienced what sheep can be\u2014aimless, looking only for the next sweet patch of grass, dispersing widely when they sense a threat. Like sheep, we sometimes spend our energy on things outside of God\u2019s will. Or we let others (who may be more lost than we are) lead us astray. When our faith is threatened, we run. Jesus, then and now, wants us to be led by him and by his Church to the truth and love that he has in store for us.\u00a0He will always be our Good Shepherd. We need only turn to him and be reconciled.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Conversing with Christ: <\/b>Lord, there are times when I can\u2019t even articulate what I desire from you: your strength, your mercy, your love.\u00a0In those times, allow me to be led to you. When I wander, send a shepherd to guide me back to you. Help me to hear the Good News and to bathe in the love you desire me to know.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Resolution: <\/b>Lord, today by your grace, I will be reminded that you healed and preached in many places.\u00a0Help me to remember that there is no place, most especially within my heart, that you are not willing to go, to bring me back to you.\u00a0Help me to share this Good News\u2014that you are my Shepherd\u2014with a friend or family member as the opportunity arises.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>For Further Reflection: <\/b><i>Catechism of the Catholic Church<\/i> 550: \u201cThe coming of God\u2019s Kingdom means the defeat of Satan\u2019s: \u2018If it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you.\u2019\u00a0Jesus\u2019 exorcisms free some individuals from the domination of demons. They anticipate Jesus\u2019 great victory over the \u2018ruler of this world.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Jesus, we ask for your continued victory over the ruler of this world.\u00a0If it be your will, make us willing laborers in your harvest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Dorothy Warner is a writer living in the Washington, D.C., area.
