Gospel
Mark 6:30-34
They were like sheep without a shepherd
The apostles rejoined Jesus and told him all they had done and taught. Then he said to them, ‘You must come away to some lonely place all by yourselves and rest for a while’; for there were so many coming and going that the apostles had no time even to eat. So they went off in a boat to a lonely place where they could be by themselves. But people saw them going, and many could guess where; and from every town they all hurried to the place on foot and reached it before them. So as he stepped ashore he saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he set himself to teach them at some length.
Reflection
This reading has two important parts . The first part Christ suggest they go off to a quiet place so that they can rest and have a personal time with Christ. The second part shows how Christ took pity on the people who were hungry for good news for they were like sheep without a shepherd. Today we too must and make a personal time with good. Secondly there are so many lost souls who need the word of God. Do you consider yourself a bearer of good news?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus your word is like the living water. May we continue to share this water so no one will be thirsty anymore.
Amen
