July 21 – 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Mark 6:30-34
“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 he 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.

The Gospel in your Family
The theme for this week is “The True Shepherd.” In this Gospel, we hear Jesus, the Good Shepherd, remind the apostles of their need for rest. We are reminded that we need this time too, to rest with Jesus as a a family. As Domestic Churches this can be a good time to pray together and instill our faith in Jesus Christ with our children.
Some questions for reflection… in this Gospel, we hear Jesus invite the Apostles to rest and relax with Him after they return from their mission to preach and heal in Jesus’ name.
- Jesus wanted his apostles to rest after they ministered to the people. Why is it important to rest?
- Jesus also wanted to spend some quiet time with his disciples. Jesus wants to spend quiet time with you too. What are some ways you can spend quiet time with Jesus?
- Why were there so many people following Jesus? Why was he so popular?
- If you could go anywhere in the world to proclaim the Gospel, where would you go?
