It is hard to believe that it is now nearing the end of July. Many of our students are already getting ready to go back to the school. Summer can be a busy time for many of us, as busy as the rest of the year. In the midst of the disciples’ busy schedule in the Gospel today, Jesus tries to bring them to a place of rest. However, the crowds keep pressing on Jesus, wanting more attention from him and wanting to learn from him. In life, sometimes the hardest thing is to find balance, to find time for our prayer life and for rest in the midst of our work and our activities. May the Lord help us find balance in our lives and may we work toward that balance. Have a blessed week everyone. Father Lincoln.
This is a blog of homilies, reflections, and photos from a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Diocese of Jackson in the state of Mississippi. Currently, I am the pastor of Holy Savior in Clinton and Immaculate Conception in Raymond. I have served as Vicar General of the Diocese since July 2019. I also serve as Catholic chaplain in the federal prison in Yazoo City and the state prison in Pearl.
