Advent Moment Daily Podcast Saturday December 6th 2025

Good morning and welcome to our Advent moment podcast.   Thanks to Mary Tyrrell for sharing a short reflection on today’s Gospel, Matthew 9:36. The harvest is rich but the labourers are few This very small part of today’s reading really jumped off the page to me. The words "harassed" and "helpless" reminded me of the content of the last number of conversations I have enjoyed with friends. There is an underlying air of helplessness and concern about the situation of the world. Every day we are bombarded with hateful images of war, cruelty and destruction on TV or media and we are helpless to make our voices heard in powerful arenas where it might make a difference. From today’s reading we understand we are all labourers in in the field and therefore called to support each other with words of encouragement and hope. We have the power to make a difference with kindness, thoughtfulness and love.  Let us pray: Lord, May I live my life always hopeful in the thought that Jesus has saved the world. Let me be kind to everyone I meet, bring comfort to those who are overwhelmed with sadness or worries, and generous to those in need especially at this time of year.  Amen.
