TENDING THE VINEYARD

“...To do a good job of nurturing and tending the vineyard, our hearts and our minds must be kept in Jesus Christ, as Saint Paul says, by "the peace of God which passes all understanding" (Phil 4:7). In this way our thoughts and plans will correspond to God’s dream: to form a holy people who are his own and produce the fruits of the kingdom of God (cf. Mt21:43).” Pope Francis

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — I shall gather the remnant of my flock and bring them back to their meadow.

(Jeremiah 23:1-6) Psalm — The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. (Psalm 23) Second Reading — You who were once far off have become near by the blood of Christ. (Ephesians 2:13-18) Gospel — When Jesus saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he began to teach them many things. (Mark 6:30-34) 

READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Ex 14:5-18; Ex 15:1bc-6; Mt 12:38-42 Tuesday:      Ex 14:21 — 15:1; Ex 15:8-10, 12, 17; Mt 12:46-50 Wednesday: Ex 16:1-5, 9-15; Ps 78:18-19, 23-28; Jn 20:1-2, 11-18 Thursday:    Ex 19:1-2, 9-11, 16-20b; Dn 3:52-56; Mt 13:10-17 Friday:        Ex 20:1-17; Ps 19:8-11; Mt 13:18-23 Saturday:     2 Cor 4:7-15; Ps 126:1bc-6; Mt 20:20-28 Sunday:        2 Kgs 4:42-44; Ps 145:10-11, 15-18;   Eph 4:1-6;                    Jn 6:1-15

PRAYER FOR SERENITY God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time. Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace, taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.

JULY 19th, SECOND COLLECTION FOR BLACK

AND INDIAN MISSIONS

A second collection will be taken up this Sunday, July 19th in all Catholic churches of the nation. The proceeds go to provide assistance for hundreds of priests, sisters, brothers and catechists working with the people of the Black and Native American Communities. Please be one with the Church in her evangelization efforts and give a generous gift to the Black or Indian/Home Collection. Thank you very much.

Part I

AMEN: The only part of a prayer that everyone knows.

BULLETIN: Your receipt for attending Mass. CHOIR: A group of people whose singing allows the rest of the Parish to lip-sync.

HOLY WATER: A liquid whose chemical formula is H2OLY.

HYMN: A song of praise usually sung in a key three octaves higher than that of the congregation’s range.

RECESSIONAL HYMN: The last song at Mass often sung a little more quietly, since most of the people have already left.

INCENSE: Holy Smoke!

JESUITS: An order of priests known for their ability to found colleges with good basketball teams.

JONAH: The original “Jaws” story. JUSTICE: When kids have kids of their own. KYRIE ELEISON: The only Greek words that most Catholics can recognize besides gyros and baklava.

CIRCULAR SPIRITUALITY Here is a practical and easy way to pray:

Take a compass and draw a perfect circle. The center of the circle - the place where you pricked the paper to insert the compass point - is the same distance from any point on the circumference. Perfect.

Imagine that the circle you drew is the world and everyone in it, and that God is the center. Mark a point somewhere on the circle and write your name. Now mark another point on the circle and write the name of someone dear to you. At a third point on the circle, write the name of someone you’re not that fond of. Now draw lines from each of these points to that center point - the point that is God. As each line moves closer to God, you will see that each line moves closer to the others - until, in God, they meet.

A monk of the sixth-century, Dorotheos of Gaza, suggested the metaphor of the circle to understand our relationship to God in and of others. As we move toward God, Father Dorotheos preached, we move closer to one another - and as we move away from one another, we move away from God.

We are all points on the same circle making our way to God.

Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord,

when I will raise up a righteous shoot to David. — Jeremiah 23:5a

Gospel (Mark 6: 30 - 34 )

The apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat. So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place. People saw them leaving and many came to know about it. They hastened there on foot from all the towns and arrived at the place before them. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

Today’s text prepares the readers for the first miracle of the multiplication of the bread. Although the Twelve were tired and needed time alone with Jesus, he responds first to the greater need of the crowd. He felt compassion toward them because “they were like sheep without a shepherd.” This is probably a reference to the Good Shepherd of Ezekiel 34:15. Jesus satisfied their spiritual hunger by teaching them many things, thus gradually becoming the shepherd of a new Israel, the new people of God. As the chapter continues, Mark will show his readers that Jesus could satisfy both the spiritual and the physical needs of the crowd. He will provide food for the people just as God had provided “manna” for the Israelites as they wandered in the desert.

Today’s reading offers three significant messages:

♦ Jesus revealed the awesome compassion and providence of God.

♦ We, the Church, are like this crowd, always seeking and finding Jesus Christ.

♦ Jesus showed the qualities that anyone in a position of leadership must have.

For our shared or personal reflection: After a brief pause for silent reflection share your answers, ideas or feelings.

1. How do I respond when my children, family and friends interrupt my rest? What do I feel toward them?

2. When I see someone in need, do I come out of my shell to reach out to them? Explain.

Brief commentary

Viene un tiempo, dice el Señor,

en que haré surgir un renuevo en el tronco de David. — Jeremías 23:5

Page Five July 19, 2015 Décimo Sexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Page Five

Evangelio (Marcos 6, 30 - 34)

En aquel tiempo, al volver los apóstoles donde estaba Jesús, le contaron todo lo que habían hecho y lo que habían enseñado. Entonces él les dijo: “Vamos aparte a un lugar tranquilo para descansar un poco”. Porque eran tantos los que iban y venían que no les quedaba tiempo ni para comer. Y se fueron solos en una barca a un lugar despoblado. Pero la gente, al verlos partir, adivinó hacia dónde iban. Y salieron por tierra de todos los pueblos, con tanta prisa que llegaron antes que ellos. Al bajar Jesús de la barca, vio todo ese pueblo y sintió compasión de ellos, pues eran como ovejas sin pastor, y se puso a enseñarles largamente.

Esta sección en el Evangelio de Marcos es conocida como la “sección de los panes”. Los versículos que leemos hoy nos preparan para la narración de la multiplicación de los panes. Aunque los discípulos estaban cansados y Jesús quería darles un rato de descanso con él, no lo consigue. Jesús interrumpe el prometido tiempo libre para atender a las necesidades del pueblo que no le dejaban tiempo ni para comer. Nos dice Marcos que Jesús sintió compasión porque eran “como ovejas sin pastor”. Esto nos recuerda la imagen del Buen Pastor de Ezequiel 34:15. Jesús es el pastor de la nueva Israel, el pueblo nuevo de Dios. Al continuar el relato, Marcos presenta a Jesús como el Mesías que calma el hambre física y espiritual de todo ser humano. Esta escena nos recuerda cómo Yahvé alimentó al pueblo de Israel con el maná que bajó del cielo cuando sufrían hambre en el desierto.

La lectura de hoy nos presenta tres ideas importantes:

♦ Jesús reveló la increíble compasión y providencia de Dios.

♦ Nosotros, como Iglesia, somos iguales a la muchedumbre del evangelio: siempre buscando y encontrando a Jesús entre nosotros.

♦ Jesús nos enseñó las cualidades que todo líder debe poseer.

Para la reflexión comunitaria: Después de una pausa breve para reflexionar en silencio, comparta con otros sus ideas o sentimientos. 1. ¿Cómo reacciono cuando mis hijos,

familiares o amigos interrumpen mi descanso? ¿Qué sentimientos les muestro?

2. Cuando veo a alguien necesitado, ¿salgo de mi “comodidad” para ayudarle? Explique.

19 DE JULIO: SEGUNDA COLECTA PARA LAS

MISIONES DE LOS INDIGENAS Y

AFROAMERICANOS Esta segunda colecta se realiza este domingo 19 de julio en todas las Iglesias Católicas de la Nación. Su propósito es proveer ayuda a cientos de sacerdotes, religiosas, hermanos y catequistas que trabajan en los programas de evangelización dentro de las comunidades de los indígenas y afroamericanos. Por favor sea parte de estas misiones, dando con generosidad en la Segunda Colecta de este domingo.

COMODIDAD Un día, un hombre sabio y piadoso clamó al cielo por una respuesta.

El hombre aquel encabezaba un grupo de misioneros que oraban por la paz del mundo, para lograr que las fronteras no existieran y que toda la gente viviera feliz.

La pregunta que hacían era: ¿Cuál es la clave, Señor, para que el mundo viva en armonía? Entonces, los cielos se abrieron y después de un magnífico estruendo, la voz de Dios les dijo: COMODIDAD.

Todos los misioneros se miraban entre sí, sorprendidos y extrañados de escuchar tal término de la propia voz de Dios.

El hombre sabio y piadoso preguntó de nuevo: ¿Comodidad, Señor?, ¿qué quieres decir con eso?.

Dios respondió: La clave para un nuevo mundo pleno es: Como-di,-dad. Es decir como yo les di, dad vosotros a vuestro prójimo. Como di, dad vosotros fe; como di, dad vosotros esperanza; como di, dad vosotros caridad; Como di, sin límites, sin pensar en nada más que dar, dad vosotros al mundo.

LA IMPORTANCIA DEL ESPIRITU SANTO

Sin el Espíritu Santo, Dios está lejos, Cristo se queda en el pasado, el Evangelio es letra muerta, la Iglesia, una mera organización, la autoridad, poder y mando, la misión de evangelizar, solo propaganda, el culto, un rito mágico y el obrar cristiano, una moral de esclavos.

Ignatius Hazin
