OUR LADY OF PROMPT SUCCOR

Our Father in Heaven through the intercession

of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, spare us during

this Hurricane season from all harm. Protect us

and our homes from all disaster of nature. Our

Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us. We

ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

Jesus invites his disciples to rest after their ministry,

and Jesus is moved with pity for the crowds who

pursue them.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED The Center is seeking volunteers to assist with

our homeless ministry. Volunteers are needed

on Sunday evenings beginning at 5:00 PM to

help deliver and serve food to approximately

300 homeless persons who gather at Ozanam

Inn each Sunday. We are in need of your help

to continue this ministry. If you or anyone

you know would be interested in partnering

with or helping the Center in serving our poor,

please see Dottie, Mike or Shane after Mass

or call Susie at the Center (504) 529-1636.

In this today’s Gospel, we read the

report of the return of the Twelve,

who were sent by Jesus to preach re-

pentance, heal the sick, and drive out

demons. When the Twelve return to

Jesus, he invites them to come away

from the crowds and rest. But the

crowds will not give them peace.. In

an effort to get away, Jesus and his

disciples board a boat in hopes of

finding a deserted place. But the

crowds notice this and arrive ahead of

them. The crowds are so persistent

that Jesus and his disciples cannot

find a place to be alone. Mark’s Gos-

pel tells us that Jesus is moved with

pity and begins to teach the crowds.

The work of Jesus and his disciples

appears to be a round-the-clock job.

Today, we hear the Twelve referred to

as “apostles.” The word apostle is a

Greek word meaning “one who is

sent.” Jesus chose twelve men from

among his disciples whom he sent to

share in his ministry of preaching and

healing. The first report of this is

found in the third chapter of Mark’s

Gospel, where the Twelve are also

called apostles and the names of this

select group are listed. We who are

Jesus’ disciples today have also been

sent to share the Gospel with others.

Perhaps our commitment to following

Jesus as his disciple leaves us feeling

tired and overwhelmed. In today’s

Gospel, we hear Jesus affirm the im-

portance of times of rest and renewal.

Jesus wanted his disciples to come

away and spend time alone with him.

This is what we seek and find in our

life of prayer and in our celebration of

the Eucharist.
