A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON THE SUNDAY READINGS HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 19, 2015 “‘I myself will gather the remnant of my flock from all the lands to which I have driven them and bring them back to their meadow; there they will increase and multiply. I will appoint shepherds for them who will shepherd them so that they need no longer fear and tremble; and none shall be missing, says the Lord.’… ‘when He disembarked and saw the vast crowd His heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd…’”. One of the oldest biblical images is that of a shepherd. From King David to the gospel of John and Jesus stating He is the Good Shepherd. Peter was told by the Risen Christ ‘feed my sheep.’ With the same concern reflected in the gospel today, may I recall priests, bishops or popes in our life and lifetime who truly filled that role for me. Was it my parish priest who made Christ present in celebrating the sacraments of baptism, gave me the Eucharist or taught me catechism? Was it the bishop who laid hands on me, calling for the Holy Spirit to strengthen me? Was it the bishop of Rome, St. John 23rd or St. John Paul II of our own lifetime who inspired and led us into the third millennium? Is it Pope Francis, humbly bringing the joy of the gospel to a world mired in war, hate, poverty and indifference? As I ponder I pray for the names and faces who have come to mind and shepherded me, and pray that others will respond to the Shepherd’s call today to ‘feed His sheep.’
SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME First Reading: Jeremiah 23:1-6 In this passage, God denounces false leaders who have scattered his people. He promises that they will be reunited and led by one who is just and wise. Second Reading: Ephesians 2:13-18 Paul explains that through Jesus Christ, there is no longer hostility between Gentile and Jew. Instead, through the Spirit of Christ, both groups become one body and are equal in the eyes of God. Gospel: Mark 6:30-34 The apostles returned after their first mission and told Jesus what they had done and taught. He told them to rest, but the people kept coming to them. So they went to find a private place, but the people learned where they were going and arrived first. Jesus felt sorry for them and decided to teach them instead of resting.
“…come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest awhile.” (Mark 6:31) Do you spend time listening for God? Most of the time, He speaks in soft whispers. Open your heart and hear the Lord. Take time in silence everyday and ask God what it is He wants you to do. Consider making a retreat this year.
