Memorial of Saint John Vianney, Priest

Matthew 9:35-10:1

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.”
