First reading Hebrews 13:15-17,20-21

May God turn us all into whatever is acceptable to himself through Jesus Christ

Through Christ, let us offer God an unending sacrifice of praise, a verbal sacrifice that is offered every time we acknowledge his name. Keep doing good works and sharing your resources, for these are sacrifices that please God.

Obey your leaders and do as they tell you, because they must give an account of the way they look after your souls; make this a joy for them to do, and not a grief – you yourselves would be the losers. I pray that the God of peace, who brought our Lord Jesus back from the dead to become the great Shepherd of the sheep by the blood that sealed an eternal covenant, may make you ready to do his will in any kind of good action; and turn us all into whatever is acceptable to himself through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever, Amen.

Responsorial Psalm 22(23)

The Lord is my shepherd: there is nothing I shall want.

The Lord is my shepherd;

there is nothing I shall want.

Fresh and green are the pastures

where he gives me repose.

Near restful waters he leads me,

to revive my drooping spirit.

He guides me along the right path;

he is true to his name.

If I should walk in the valley of darkness

no evil would I fear.

You are there with your crook and your staff;

with these you give me comfort.

You have prepared a banquet for me

in the sight of my foes.

My head you have anointed with oil;

my cup is overflowing.

Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me

all the days of my life.

In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell

for ever and ever.

Gospel Mark 6:30-34

They were like sheep without a shepherd

The apostles rejoined Jesus and told him all they had done and taught. Then he said to them, ‘You must come away to some lonely place all by yourselves and rest for a while’; for there were so many coming and going that the apostles had no time even to eat. So they went off in a boat to a lonely place where they could be by themselves. But people saw them going, and many could guess where; and from every town they all hurried to the place on foot and reached it before them. So as he stepped ashore he saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he set himself to teach them at some length.

Reflection
Hebrews 13:15-17, 20-21, Mark 6:30-34

Come away and rest for a while
Jesus said, “Come away…and rest for a while”. Despite knowing that there were still many things that still needed to be done, Jesus told the disciples to rest. What does this mean for us? Like Jesus, we need to learn to take a step back and find time and space to simply rest, to slow down in order to be recharged. Perhaps we feel that to rest means that we are being lazy and unproductive, and thus, we push ourselves to be busy with doing things. Jesus invites us to go with Him for a prayerful rest and make time for solitude and renewal.

In the gospel, Jesus and His disciples did not get the rest they needed. Jesus, looking at the large crowd, felt compassion for them, and sat down to teach them. This speaks to us also of the need to let go of all our plans and always respond to the needs of others with compassionate and self-giving love, as Jesus did.

Question for reflection:
Do I value prayerful rest where I seek strength, peace and comfort in Jesus? What prevents me from responding to others with love, when they interrupt my plans and schedules?

Renungan
Ibrani 13:15-17, 20-21, Markus 6:30-34

“Pergi dan beristirehat seketika”
Yesus berkata, “Pergi..dan beristirehat seketika”. Walaupun mengetahui bahawa masih banyak perkara yang perlu diselesaikan, Yesus memberitahu murid-murid-Nya untuk beristirehat. Apakah ertinya ini bagi kita? Seperti Yesus kita perlu belajar untuk berhenti sejenak, melangkah ke belakang dan mengambil waktu dan ruang untuk beristirehat, untuk mendapat tenaga baru. Mungkin kita merasa bahawa beristirehat bermakna kita menjadi malas dan tidak produktif, dan kerana itu kita memaksa diri kita untuk menjadi sibuk dengan banyak perkara. Yesus mengajak kita untuk datang kepada-Nya dalam istirehat doa dan meluangkan waktu untuk hening dan pembaharuan diri.

Dalam injil, Yesus dan murid-murid-Nya tidak mendapat rehat yang mereka perlukan. Melihat keadaan orang ramai, Yesus merasa kasihan dan segera mengajar mereka. Peristiwa ini berbicara kepada kita tentang keperluan untuk melepaskan semua rancangan-rancangan peribadi kita dan sentiasa memberi tindak balas kepada keperluan orang lain dengan penuh belas kasihan seperti yang telah dilakukan Yesus.

Soalan renungan:
Adakah saya menghargai istirehat doa di mana saya dapat menemukan kekuatan, kedamaian dan keselesaan dalam Yesus? Apakah yang menghalang saya untuk memberikan tindak balas kepada orang lain dengan kasih, ketika mereka mengganggu jadual dan rancangan-rancangan saya?

Aram mupuk lalu belelak enda lama.

Ko Jesus, “Aram mupuk…lalu belelak enda lama”. Taja mayuh kereja agi patut digaga sereta ditembuka, Jesus ngangau Murid Iya awak belelak. Nama reti tu ba kitai? Baka Jesus, kitai patut belajar lalu magi masa enggau endur deka belelak, belubah sereta bulih pengering baru. Engka kitai ngumbai enti kitai belelak ti nyadi ngelusu, nadai asil lalu ngansak diri ngereja macam pengawa. Jesus ngangau kitai bejalai enggau Iya dalam besampi sereta diau jenuh lalu magi masa diau ati lalu dikemaru.

Ba dalam Injil, Jesus enggau murid Iya enda chukup awak endur belelak. Jesus meda mensia mayuh lalu berasai sinu ka sida lalu bepun duduk sereta ngajar sida. Tu ngajar kitai awak ngelenka ka semua atur pengawa kitai lalu ngati ka pengawa ti benung nyadi kelebih agi ka sida ti seranta enggau ati penyinu sereta pengerindu baka Jesus.

Bisi aku amat bebasa ka awak lebuh besembiang endur aku bulih pengering, pemaik sereta pengelantang dalam Jesus? Nama utai ti nagang aku ari nyaut kangau pengerindu ka orang taja aku mayuh atur pengawa bukai?

省思
«希十三:15-17,20-21»
«谷六:30-34»

” 离开和去休息一会儿”

耶稣说：“走吧……去休息一会儿”。尽管知道还有许多事情要做，耶稣告诉门徒去休息。这对我们意味着什么呢？像耶稣一样，我们需要学会退后一步，找到时间和空间来简单地休息，放慢脚步以便充电。也许我们觉得休息意味着我们懒惰和无能为力，因此，我们推动自己忙于做事。耶稣邀请我们与祂同行进行祈祷的休息，为独处和更新腾出时间。

在福音里，耶稣和祂的门徒没有得到他们所需要的休息。耶稣看着那群人，对他们感到同情，就坐了下来教导他们。这也告诉我们，必须放手我们的计划，并且通过以下的方式回应他人的需求，即富有同情心和自我奉献的爱，就像耶稣所做的那样。

省思题：
我是否珍视祈祷的安息并且寻求在耶稣内的力量，和平与安慰呢？是什么阻止我以爱来回应别人，当他们打扰我的计划和时间表呢？
