Gospel Reading from Mass: July 19, 2009

Mark 6:30-34 – 30The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. 31Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” 32So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. 33But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 34When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.

Observation:

• What did the apostles do?
• Where did Jesus take the twelve?
• What happened when people saw Jesus and the disciples leaving?
• What happened when Jesus saw the large crowd?

Application:

• Why did Jesus want the twelve to rest after their work?
• Why do you think God is concerned about our rest?
• Why do you think Jesus had compassion on the people?
• What characteristics does a good shepherd have?
• What does it mean to be without a shepherd?
• Do you need a shepherd?
