The Gospel today opens with a simple but deeply moving line: “When Jesus saw the crowds, His heart was moved with pity for them.” Jesus looks at people who are tired, searching, wounded, and wandering, and His heart breaks open with compassion. Not judgment. Not frustration. Compassion. And that compassion becomes the reason He calls the Twelve and sends them out. Before there is a mission, there is mercy. Before there is sending, there is seeing. Before the disciples do anything for Jesus, Jesus first sees them, loves them, and calls them.
