Guided by Chapter 6 of St. Mark’s Gospel, this meditation explores the demanding yet rewarding reality of the apostolate. From the rejection at Nazareth to the martyrdom of John the Baptist, we reflect on how witnessing to the truth often involves sharing in Christ’s suffering and embracing simplicity of life. We will consider the call to sacrifice our own rest for the needs of souls and the necessity of trusting Jesus to calm the storms of our daily lives, even amidst our own lack of faith.
