Reaping The Harvest

Et cum produxerit ex se fructum statim mittit falcem, quoniam adest messis. Et cum produxerit ex se fructum et sufficientem: et tangit tempus collectionis agricolae seminantis ergo hoc est, hunc fructum in horrea coeli Deo congregat. Qui metit, mercedem accipit, et congregat fructum in vitam aeternam. Sua autem diligentia Praedicator, et Praelatus debent Deo tales fructus congregate: et non sibi lucra quaerere ex ipsis. Triticum congregate in horreum meum. Triticum congregabit ad horreum suum, paleas autem comburet igni inextinguibili. Mittit igitur falcem quia praecidit fructum a laude et lucro hominis, et reponit Deo in horreum. Sic enim fecit Filius incrementa Sancto Patri assignans. Cum tradiderit regnum Deo et Patri, tunc tempore maturi fructus, ut totum Deo attributatur et referuetur: et hoc sit, vel in fine mundi, vel in fine mortis cuiulibet hominis. Mitte falcem tuam et mete, quia venit hora ut metatur, quoniam aruit messis terrae. Sanctus Albertus Magnus Commentarium In Evangelium Divi Marci, Caput IV Source: Volumen 9, pdf p333

And when the grain is ripe at once he applies the sickle, because the harvest has come. 1 When the grain is ripe and enough, and the time of collection has come, so the farmer who sowed the seed gathers its produce into the heavenly storehouse for God. 'He who reaps, he receives his wage, and he gathers the fruit for eternal life.' 2 For the preacher and the prelate by his own diligence should gather such fruit for God, and not seek profit from it for themselves. 'Gather the wheat into my storehouse.' 3 'He shall gather the wheat into His storehouse, but the chaff He shall burn with unquenchable fire.' 4 So he puts in the sickle because he cuts off the fruit from the praise and profit of man, and he places it in the storehouse for God. So the Son has made increase for the Holy Father. 'When He shall give the kingdom to God and the Father.' 5 Then when the crop is ripe, that all be attributed and referred to God. And this is done at the end of the world, or at the end of any man's life. 'Put in your sickle and reap, because the hour of reaping has come, since the harvest of the earth is ripe.' 6 Saint Albert The Great, Commentary On The Gospel of St Mark, Chapter 4 1 Mk 10.42-45 2 Jn 4.36 3 Mt 13.30 4 Lk 3.17 5 1 Cor 15.24 6 Apoc 14.15
