DESERTED PLACES (Mark 6:30-34): 19 July 2009 (Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time)
Dear Jesus,
You knew about deserted places, didn’t you? Small wonder you frequented them in your life. In today’s gospel, you invite your disciples to “come away” to such a place. To rest, you say, but you know better, don’t you? And by now, your disciples probably know better, too.
