And when those sent out gathered together with Jesus, they told him everything that they had done and what they had taught. 

And he said to them ‘Come, by yourselves, alone, into a deserted place and rest for a little while.’ 

For many people were coming and going and they did not have an opportunity to eat. 

And they left in the boat to go to a deserted place, alone.
And people saw them going and many recognised them, and many hurrred there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them. 

And when he got out he saw a great crowd and he had compassion for them, because they were sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

Thank you, dear Jesus,
for all you have given me,
for all you have taken away from me,
for all you have left me.

Thomas More (c.1478-1535)
