Food for Thought. . .
In a recent Sojourners magazine piece--Rest is Holy, Not a Reward for the Productive--Sandi Villareal quotes Pope Francis, “Let us beware, brothers and sisters, of efficiency,” he said, “let us put a halt to the frantic running around dictated by our agendas.” The Pope was reflecting on Mark 6:30-34, in which Jesus instructs the disciples to “come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while,” after they told him all the preaching and teaching they had been doing. If you haven’t read it, I commend Villareal’s piece for your reflection. It is good. It is timely. It is apt. And as we find ourselves facing rising infection rates, as many are ramping up for the start of school and a new program season, as we tend to the innumerable responsibilities that face us in life, it is helpful to be reminded that rest is okay. Rest is good. Indeed, rest is holy.
