Memorial of St Scholastica

1 Kings 8:1-7, 9-13; Ps 132; Mark 6:53-56

Where is Jesus?

In the first reading and Psalm, God was in the Ark – perhaps the modern-day equivalent is the Tabernacle. In the Gospel, Jesus, son of God, was in the countryside. Which raises the question – where is Jesus for you? In the tabernacle? In the Eucharist at Mass? Or in your heart? I heard about a woman who told her son she had given up praying - she just talked to Jesus all day long. Jesus was with her always. Please God, let me be like her.
