A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark:

They were as 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 your-

selves 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.

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

PLEASE KEEP THEM IN YOUR PRAYERS

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Times Reflection HE TOOK PITY ON THEM. In today’s Gospel Jesus shows great care for His disciples. After a busy mission He takes them off to a quiet place to rest. He also takes pity on the crowds who follow Him. Recognising their spiritual hunger, He teaches them at some length. Jesus takes pity on us as well. Like the crowds and His disciples, we need to periodically step aside from our many chores and activities to be nourished by His life-giving word and fed by the Eucharist.
