From pumpkins to parables: God calls us into the field

In brief

The Sunday Gospels for late September and early October this year feature recurring themes regarding harvesting and working in the fields.

These parables serve as a reminder that people are called to work in the fields of faith to build the Kingdom of God. Just as harvesting pumpkins requires procuring, preparing, storing, and cooking, the process of faith requires similar labor to enjoy its fruits.
