Today is the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time; and in the gospel, Saint Mark recounts to us how Jesus responded to his twelve apostles, who have returned from preaching and healing people.

“Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while,” the Lord told his disciples. This underlines the importance of rest and retreat; after doing our part, it is necessary to pause and “recuperate” physically and spiritually.

In turn, Jesus himself taught the people who hastened to follow them —because “his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd.” Jesus shows us that the heart of a true missionary is not only keen on accomplishing work but also on taking care of people.
