Gospel
Mark 6:30-34
They were like sheep without a shepherd.
The Apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat. So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place. People saw them leaving and many came to know about it. They hastened there on foot from all the towns and arrived at the place before them.
When Jesus disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
Reflection
What is a shepherd? A shepherd is someone who tend ,herd, flock and guard his sheep. In other word he is someone who put put his life on the line for the Christ os our shepherd. Today as keeper of the good news we are expected to be shepherd the lost soul and the various ministries in the church. Sad to say many prefer to avoid than take up the challenge of being a sheperd. Are we one of them?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus you are our shepherd. Guide us so we too can be sheperd like you to minister to your people.
