Text Box: BULLETIN CONNECTION The harvest is being gathered around the country, but most of us are unaware of it. The fields are being picked clean even as orchards and vineyards yield their fruit. But most of us simply stop at the grocery store to find the same produce that we have purchased week after week. The selection from the Letter of James this week reminds us that the convenience of our grocery purchases comes at a price. We want inexpensive food as much as we want cheap gas. James does not mince words today. He says: “the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord.” Visit the U.S. Bishops’ website: http://www.justiceforimmigrants.org/ and discover how you can act on the words of James today.
