Sheep in Need

Even Jesus faced the dilemma of being overwhelmed by the enormous number of people needing his healing and help.  He was moved to pity because they were like sheep without a shepherd.  He asked the disciples to pray for laborers to help with the "harvest." (Cf. Mt 9: 34-38).
We all know the feeling of being overwhelmed with "things to do" on our endless "lists" as well as the limited amount of time available to do them.  Perhaps it's not a bad idea to ask for help, as Jesus did...pray for other shepherds to come and help with the flock.  It's surprising how willingly and generously people respond when they become aware of the needs of others.  Let's try praying for helpers and asking for help today.
