Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Today’s gospel picks up is the “next episode” from last weeks with the disciples coming back to report to Jesus about all they had done in his name. Jesus takes them away from the crowd to rest and to share about their experiences. He is showing them the importance of having a rhythm to their lives – a balance between work and activity. Coming into the presence of God is where the psalmist says, we find rest, are safe, our souls are refreshed, and we get recharged with spiritual energy to resume our activities. How will we shoulder life’s burdens if we have no relationship with him who is the Lord of all good life? How can we do God’s work unless in God’s strength? The answer is clear! By taking time in quietness in the presence of God and being nourished at the table of the Lord that we are able to go forth to love and serve the Lord.
