“The Apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. He said to them, “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 Jesus 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.” -Mark 6:30-34

At times, Christ calls us to be with Him in the desert and rest for a while. There, separated from the world, we find true peace with Him. But Jesus takes no rest, for He is always moved with pity for His people.

When we leave our solitude with Jesus and follow Him into the vast crowd in need, we witness His miracles there. To see His pity for them is to learn the Shepherd is always present, to protect us and lead us back to the Father.

Saint Blaise, pray for us.
