The Apostles Are Summoned by Jesus to Rest: Relevance for Our Spiritual Journey
Upon learning about Solomon’s requested gift from the Lord in the initial reading, the Homily explores its connection with the Gospel.
The Gospel conveys a subtle yet significant lesson applicable to all, and we must be attentive not to overlook it. Following the Apostles’ return from their efforts in healing and ministering to the people, exhaustion sets in. In response, Jesus takes them aside to find respite.
Upon reaching a secluded place for rest, they encounter a sizable crowd eagerly awaiting their presence. Jesus instructs the Apostles on their next course of action. This narrative holds a valuable lesson for our lives—grasping the essence of the Gospel. Take heed of the message:
“The Apostles Are Summoned by Jesus to Rest: Relevance for Our Spiritual Journey.”
