Fathers, Brothers & Sisters in Christ, Yet we stand again at the end of another working week. For most of us it is just a rat race from Monday to Friday and as Catholic Christians we seem to have little opportunity to have a break and reflect on things, which are eternal and not of this world. Blessed Saint Mark covers this point so well, see Saint Mark 6 verse 31 And He said un them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while.
Would you not agree with me that " Come ye yourselves apart .... and rest a while" is a must for every Christian. If you don't come apart, you will come apart - you will go to pieces. Take the opportunity if you can... and rest a while, go to a weekday Mass and in the quiet of your Parish Church or Cathedral come into the presence of the Lord. Forget the weekly tv programs for a while and open the Holy Scriptures and reflect, or open a book on the life of the early Church Fathers. You need to recharge your spiritual batteries. I pray that this weekend may give you the opportunity to just do that. " Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a while"
AMEN
Yours in Christ,
Ed Bakker - Postulant TAC New Zealand
