Our Lord today in the Gospel spends bonding time with his apostles. They have been working hard, so hard that they did not even have the time to eat. In any case, he brings them to another part to be by themselves. However, the crowds were there already waiting for him. What is striking is that they according to the good Lord were like sheep without a shepherd. Hence, he renewed his teaching activity prodding the apostles to do the same. They were supposed to rest but the urgency of taking care of the souls of those crowds had a greater pull. Especially parents with their children, we all bear some responsibility in explaining the faith to the others.
