Hope is alive when we have a filial relationship with God. In the goodness of God, we are also consoled and strengthened. Even in the midst of tears we can see the harvest already. The labour needs to necessarily possess the quality of hope and joy to be patient in the season of waiting.
Any one who awaits the harvest in the fruitfulness of grace is a sincere laborer. One needs not be priests to be laborers. A laborer holds in one's heart the presence of the master, the consolation and comfort, and the strength to wipe away tears. The filial love for God offers the laborer directions to move, to heal and to give words of grace, and fill the world with goodness. See the hearts of humanity and the womb of the earth, hungry and thirsty for justice, the harvest is growing.
