XVI Sunday of the Year. Listen:
GospelMk
6:30-34
The apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported
all they had done and taught. He said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a
deserted place and rest a while." People were coming and going in great numbers, and
they had no opportunity even to eat. So they went off in the boat by themselves
to a deserted place. People saw them leaving and many came to know about it. They
hastened there on foot from all the towns and arrived at the place before them.
When
he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for
they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
