In this homily on the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost, The Rev. Ed Bartle, Associate Rector of St. George Episcopal Church discusses how today’s readings point out the need for all of us to get rest. Our busy lives often lead us to become irritable when we do not get a respite and can affect our ability to show compassion to others. We should keep our eyes on Jesus; this may mean reordering our priorities. When Jesus leads us and we follow Him, we find ourselves fulfilled in a way unlike any other.
