Matthew 9v35-38

Heavenly father
give us grace to be moved with compassion for those we meet today so that we may communicate in word and deed the good news of the Kingdom.

³⁵ Jesus went about all the cities and the villages,
teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom,
and healing every disease and every sickness among the people. 
³⁶ But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them
because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd. 
³⁷ Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the labourers are few. 
³⁸ Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out labourers into his harvest.”
