24 BLESSED MICHAEL SOPOĆKO GOSPEL Matthew 9:35-38 The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few. ✠ A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew Jesus 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, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” The Gospel of the Lord.
