Mark 6:30-34, 53-56 / Balance in Life

Today’s gospel reading shows how people flocked to Jesus, creating chaos as they sought healing and inspiration. The apostles were so busy they couldn’t even eat. Seeing their exhaustion, Jesus invited them to a quiet place to rest. However, the crowds guessed where He was going and rushed to meet Him, eager for miracles and teachings.

Jesus’ message of love, hope, and compassion drew people in. He not only taught these values but also lived them, feeding 5,000 people and healing the sick. His genuine care for the marginalised, including women and children, touched many hearts, creating a bustling atmosphere wherever He went.

The passage also highlights the need for balance in life. Jesus understood the importance of rest and took His disciples away to recharge. This shows how vital it is to find quiet moments to connect with God amid life’s chaos.

Despite the turmoil around Him, Jesus remained calm and steady, offering a model of inner peace. His integrity, authority, and compassion continue to attract people, showing that true rest and balance come from following His example.  IL-WOONG.
