There is a sadness in today's gospel. Christ, seeing the fatigue in His
disciples, suggests a holiday from their ministry and moves them to a
deserted area for a rest. But the populous of the several towns where they
have been preaching anticipate the move and are waiting for them when
they arrive; so desperate are they. Christ is moved. The people are so hungry for Him, so needy. And the people know this is important, they know this spiritual question is a part of them and must be answered. There is almost a whimsical quality here, with
the imbalance of spiritual supply and demand.
We poor people don't look
much better than in this gospel.
