DEAR CHURCH SERVERS, REST IF YOU MUST BUT NOT QUIT
Today is the celebration of World Mission Sunday. It the Gospel, it validates the importance of rest and self-care in our own missionary journeys. When the apostles returned after a tiring mission, Jesus said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest for a while." (Mk 6:30-34)
Jesus teaches us that there are times when we need rest in order to lovingly serve the God & our neighbor effectively & wholeheartedly. You may rest alone, or you may rest with God. Just as Jesus welcomed his 12 apostles to rest after their tiring mission, we too need to recognize the value of taking a moment to recharge and refocus. Rest is not about abandoning our duties or responsibilities, but rather about gaining strength and clarity to continue serving God and giving Him the glory He deserves. By taking time to rest and reflect, we can return to our mission with renewed energy and enthusiasm, ready to spread the Good News and serve others with love and compassion.
Done Serve 3rd Mass, 3rd Sunday! 🙏
