As we hear the wonderful Gospel today from Luke about Jesus sending out his disciples as missionaries to the world, we are called to think about how all of us as disciples of Christ are called to be laborers in the Lord’s vineyard and to bring the Gospel message to the world in our words and our actions. In this of this commission we have to labor in the Lord’s vineyard in the context of the Jubilee Year of Hope. As I have been sent out by Bishop Kopacz as the vicar general for mission appeals these past couple of weeks both on the East coast and the West coast of our country, I am also taking this opportunity to go on pilgrimage during this Jubilee year of hope, to visit one of the original missions out in California and to visit the pilgrimage site of Father McGivney of the Knights of Columbus in Connecticut. May all of us heed this call to labor in the Lord’s vineyard. May all of us discern the ways the Lord is calling us to be pilgrims of hope during this Jubilee Year. Blessings - Father Lincoln.
