6TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE A
MARK 8:11-13
Bishop Robert Barron writes,
Friends, in today’s Gospel ... I’d like to draw your attention to the final line in the passage: “He left them, got into the boat again, and went off to the other shore.”For Bishop Barron's reflection in its entirety, click here: http://dailycatholicgospel.com/get-reflections.
Whose boat was this? Well, ... it belonged to his disciples.... Without warning, without asking permission, Jesus got into [their] boat. Now the boat was everything for Peter; it was his livelihood, his security. But Jesus just got in and began giving orders.
So it goes in the order of grace. The true God cannot be manipulated, determined by us, or controlled through our efforts.... Do what the disciples did and let Jesus enter your boat.
