Week 2: Mary Queen of Peace, St. Rose & Holy Disciples - Tuesday

"The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few" Matthew 9:37. When this quote comes to mind you don't fully understand the situation. The few laborers are the ones that provide the harvest, but not just for them but for their families, friends, and even the whole world. It takes being in their shoes and working to see why the harvest is great and also to see why the laborers are few. The migrant community that work in the fields are providing not just for their families but to the business that the product is going towards, and the stores that put them on the shelves. Not just any person could do the work and produce a well enough quota that will earn the money that will feed their families and also feed them. Lack of food, bad hygiene, and poor living conditions are some of the problems that they face and need help solving. The Holy Spirit works through them giving them the will and energy to keep going, keep moving forward because not only does their families need it, but the whole world. They do a job that can't be describe you have to experience it for yourself and see the work and suffering they go through. Beatitude "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land" depicts how soon the migrate farm working community will soon have a change for the better and change not only the land, but the world around it.
