Saturday of the Fourth Week in Ordinary Time Gospel: Mark 6:30-34 The Good Shepherd Jesus
We often resemble the crowds that followed Jesus in their time, madly pursuing our beloved idols in life. Sometimes, we even disregard the feelings of others to achieve a zero-distance encounter with our favoured idols, for in our eyes, as long as our desires are fulfilled, we will be content—just like those crowds who followed Christ, seeking a sense of existence and ritual. Thus, we blindly build our sense of security on creatures, who, like ourselves, were created by God according to His divine will.
When we offer prayers to God, we seek not the peace and joy of our spiritual life, but the wealth of this world and the comfort it brings. In our view, as long as we have enough food and clothing, we can find the long-awaited sense of security from such a superior life.
Today, let us rediscover the original heart we had when we first met Jesus. By the power of the Word of God, may we drive away the distractions in our hearts, calm ourselves, and enter into our inner chamber to meet the Lord Jesus Christ who dwells within us. Under the illumination and guidance of the Holy Spirit, may we courageously let go of all things and proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom to all creatures.
