He Sends You Out As Lambs
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Our Lord sends the disciples out two by two and says the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. What do think he means by saying the laborers are few? We all think he means there are few priests, but it cannot be, why? There were no priests at that…
