The ministry of bringing truth to the world of darkness is unending. But
as Jesus coaches his disciples, rest is necessary. No matter how noble
our effort we are bound by the limitations of our own humanity. Though
we have the motivation to save the world, we must be aware that it
begins by saving ourselves. Nevertheless, we see there the work is still
there when we return. It is never finished. We are encouraged to renew
ourselves tor the mssion, and part of the mission is our renewal for the
people of God.
