When a woman is in labor, she is in anguish because her hour has arrived. But when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the pain because of her joy. Today’s Gospel is about anguish and uncertainty. As Jesus continues his final instructions to the twelve, warning of them that hard days are ahead of them all, but like a mother enduring labor, what will be born of their work will be the source of great joy.
