Today’s Scripture: Jesus
withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee
followed; also from Judea 8 and Jerusalem and Idume'a
and from beyond the Jordan and from about Tyre and Sidon a great multitude,
hearing all that he did, came to him. 9 And
he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest
they should crush him; 10 for he had healed many, so
that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him. Mark 3:7-10
Reflection: How do we compare the Lord’s mandate in
Matt 28:19, to
make disciples of all nations and
his sending of the 70 others in Luke 10:1 ahead of him, two by
two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come with the
above Gospel?
In the above gospel we
learn that Jesus withdrew with his disciples and again he does it when they get
into the boat.
The Church in all its
dynamism needs to go forth to proclaim the living gospel yet at times it has
wonder examples of a monastic tradition in which these monks too have
proclaimed Christ Jesus as the way, the truth and the life in a mighty way
without going forth. Their fame like fragrance has spread forth in every
century and age because they carried Christ Jesus as their Lord and master and
proclaimed him through the greatest virtue of humility.
Prayer: Lord,
give me an humble spirit as I seek to serve you.
