“Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11). As Christians, we know how lethal devil's tactics are; we know many people are still without the armor of God. So, how can we possibly stay unmoved when our Lord tells us, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few (Matthew 9:37)?
“Whom shall I send?” God asked a pressing question in Isaiah 6:8. On hearing God's call, Prophet Isaiah promptly offered his service: “Here I am…send me!” (Isaiah 6:8). So did Simon (Peter), James and John, who radically “left everything and followed him” when Jesus invited them to be fishers of men (Luke 5:11).
It's easy for us to think these were “special people” who had God's special favors. Didn't Jesus commission only his apostles to “make disciples of all nations” on his Ascension (Matthew 28:11,19)? We are no Peter, James and John; no prophet; and no apostles. So, why should we bother?
We may choose to conveniently forget, but the Catechism reminds us that through Baptism and Confirmation, we are consecrated to participate in Christ's mission as priests, prophets and kings (cf. CCC 1546). Like the “special people” above, the clergy, and the religious, we also have the priestly duty of spreading the Gospel.
In Vatican II, the Church officially encouraged all Christians to exercise their priestly duty and help the Church to draw the unbelievers to the Christian faith. Through families, church communities, social and occupational networks, national and international spheres – we have countless opportunities to witness to the Christian faith.
But let's not put the cart before the horse. The witnessing is only as good as the witness himself. To exercise our priestly duty well – to be a good sower of the Lord – our lay ministries must be exercised in unity with Christ. Since the Church is the Body of Christ, it means we must submit ourselves to the teaching authority of the Church.

主感謝你??
Being a result~oriented person, I was reluctant to join the church communities especially when I saw arguments among the members, considering that a waste of time in achieving our goal. As time goes by, I started to realise that the process itself is as important, if not more, than the results. Through these communities, we not only bear witnesses to the non~believers, but to believers as well. We are to grow in our faith together as we are all Children of God.
Lord, thank you for giving me the necessary armour to be your laborer and please give me the wisdom to discern Your Will from that of mine!
主，感謝讚美祢！
主！請憐憫你的僕人！
主願照祢的旨意堅強我派遣我吧！??
主！感謝祢！！
主啊！感謝您!
主感謝你！
上主，感謝祢的召叫，使我成為團體中的一員，跟隨祢，一齊在福傳事工上，與眾弟兄姊妹分享祢賜予我們團體的特殊神恩，在祢十字架的感召下，效法祢的慈悲、寬恕和全然交托的犧牲，信賴天父！
我們的平信徒事工必須在與基督共融為大原則中去實行。
找到自己的使命是很重要的。有幸加入了修道獻身生活行列。作瑪利亞的傳教士,把耶穌帶給我們所接觸的弟兄姊妹。
一齊來聆聽主的呼召! 看!祂對你和我有何計劃。
上主，我會堅守做好莊稼工人的召選。?
莊稼多工人少，教會需要我們的投入福傳工作，但我們需裝備好自己，穿上天主的全副武裝，抵抗魔鬼的陰謀！
莊稼主人邀请我去收割，我樂意接受。
我不善言谈，缺乏教理知识，我要努力讀圣经，求主帮助。
Pls use me as your tool, to spread the good news to others!
主，請祢在我身邊給我許多同伴，讓我好能在信仰的生活中能不孤單！
主，請帶領我找出最適合我的方法去貢獻自己，做祢的莊稼工人。
上主，全能仁慈的主，這一生蒙主愛護引導，怎樣都不能還報主的恩情摯愛。我能做什麼，只求開啓我心，光照我明，助我能忠心，愉快的去做。阿們！
我願意用心回應上主的召喚，成為其中一個上主的莊稼工人!
Lord, help me to labor for His harvest; to pray, fast and read the Bible daily as Our Lady of Medjugorje tell us.
