Mark 6:30–34
The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that
they had done and taught. He said to them, "Come away to a deserted place
all by yourselves and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and
they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a deserted
place by themselves. Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they
hurried there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them. As he went
ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were
like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
Reflection:
Do I realize that in my ministry it is not about my doings
and words, but is about what God is doing in and through me?
How do I understanding Jesus’ saying 'Go away to a quiet
place'? Does he mean inviting me to be with him - to be in relationship, in
dialogue?
