The Very Daniel P Richards proclaims the gospel
according to Mark as Jesus tries to get away and teach his disciples the basics
of the live and the way of discipleship. Richards notes we need to “sharpen our
pencils” or get ready to deepen our study and faith preparing for the day our
neighbor needs us to help during a crisis.
We need live into a real God not one of our imagination or an idealized
faith but one deepened by preparation. Be a wise person and be prepared to
serve.

Grant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things, but to
love things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things that are
passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and
ever. Amen.
