Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to you. Allow Your hea-ling hand to heal them. Touch their soul with Your compassion for others. Touch their Heart with Your coura-ge and infinite love for all. Touch their mind with Your wisdom, that their mouth may always proclaim Your praise. Teach them to reach out

to You in their need, and help them to lead others to You by example. Most loving Heart of Jesús, bring them health in body and spirit that they may serve You with all their strength. Touch gently these lives which You have crea-ted, now and forever. Amen

Gospel: mark 6: 30-34 If you have ever had the frustrating experience of being inter-rupted while you were trying to tell about some wonderful adventure, you will understand how the apostles feel in this gospel story. They have just returned from their first missionary journey. They want to tell Jesus all about it. He leads them off to a quiet place where they can tell their stories. But the crowds follow them because they are hungry for Jesus' teaching and his healing touch. Seeing the crowd, Jesus is moved to respond to them. They are like sheep that have been scat-tered. Out of love, the Good Shepherd calls them together and guides them. The apostles' adventure stories will have to wait. 1.) When others make demands on you at times when you need to rest, what is your usual response? 2.) What can we learn from the example of Jesus in this gospel story? 3.) How will you try to follow that example in your daily life?

Evangeglio: marco 6: 30-34 Si tú y tu compañero son enviados a diferentes escuelas a hablar de tu fe, ¿qué te preocuparía? Cuando Jesús envío a sus apóstoles de dos en dos, él les avisó que algunas personas no los aceptarían. El insistió en que ellos debían salir sin llevar ropa, dinero o comida, que confiaran en Dios y la bondad de sus anfitriones. Si el pueblo no les ofrecía comida o no escuchaba su mensaje, debían ir a otro lugar. Los que escucharon a los apóstoles fueron recompensados. Los enfermos fueron sanados, los poseídos limpiados de los demonios y los pecadores reconciliados. 1.) ¿Qué podemos aprender del ejemplo de la historia bíblica de hoy?

2.) ¿Cómo tratarás de seguir ese ejemplo en tu vida diaria? 3.) ¿Cuando otra persona demanda de tu tiempo, cuando nece sitas descansar, ¿qué respondes?
