Jesus welcomes the disciples back from their mission, and takes them away for a time of rest and recuperation but those plans are dashed when a great crowd follows them. But Jesus has compassion on them, because they are “like sheep without a shepherd” but he then spends time alone in prayer on the mountain. There will be times in our busy lives when circumstances disrupt our intention to spend time alone with God or with family. But we too need time with God, as our inner resources quickly run dry. Like Jesus, we need to persist in seeking times when we can grow in our relationship with God.
