July 22, 2018 Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

REST IN THE LORD For several weeks we have listened to readings that have recounted just how arduous the work of prophets and disciples can be. In today’s Gospel, the Lord Jesus listens to the reports of those he had sent out “two by two” to minister to the people. After the apostles reported what they had done, Jesus, recognizing their fatigue, says, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest awhile” (Mark 6:31). Perhaps this is what the Lord is telling his disciples in the year 2018 as well. We need to pause on our journey of discipleship and simply rest in the Lord. Sunday Mass provides many opportunities for quiet times, particularly during the periods of silence following the readings. Why not take the time today to allow the saving word of the Lord to pene-trate your heart during those silent times? Ask the Lord to renew you in body, mind, and spirit for the arduous work of discipleship. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

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 — In Christ Jesus 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).

22 de julio de 2018

DESCANSA EN EL SEÑOR Durante varias semanas hemos escuchado lecturas que relatan la difícil tarea de los profetas y discípulos. En el Evangelio de hoy, el Señor Jesús escucha lo que

le cuentan los discípulos enviados “de dos en dos” a servir a la gente. Jesús, comprendiendo que están fatiga-dos, les dice: “Vengan conmigo a un lugar solitario, para que descansen un poco” (Marcos 6:31). Quizás esto también es lo que el Señor les dice a sus discípulos del año 2018. Debemos hacer un alto en nuestro camino de discípulos y simplemente descansar en el Señor. La Misa del domingo brinda muchas oportunidades para la reflexión, en especial durante los períodos de silencio luego de las lecturas. ¿Por qué no ded-icar algo de tiempo hoy a permitir que la palabra salvadora del Señor penetre

tu corazón en esos silencios? Pídele al Señor que te renueve en cuerpo, mente y espíritu para que puedas continuar con la ardua tarea de ser un buen discípulo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Después de castigar a los pastores que enga-ñaron al pueblo, el Señor reunirá el resto del rebaño y asignará nuevos pastores (Jeremías 23:1-6). Salmo — El Señor es mi pastor, nada me falta (Salmo 23 [22]). Segunda lectura — En Cristo tanto los judios como los no judi-os tienen acceso en un sólo Espíritu al Padre (Efesios 2:13-18). Evangelio — Cansados, Jesús y los apóstoles tratan de irse hacia un lugar retirado para descansar. Pero la gente, como ovejas sin pastor, los sigue (Marcos 6:30-34).

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

In the Letter to the Ephesians, we hear that this desire that the people find peace in right relationship with God is for everyone. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, leads the disciples to a deserted place to rest. They had just returned from their first time of mission, and Jesus understands that they need time away with him, to share their experiences and questions, and to find refreshment of body and spirit. Yet Jesus also recognizes the needs of the crowds who follow them to that deserted place. He knows that he is the peace for which they long. Sabbath Rest Sabbath. We hear the word, and many think of the obligation to attend Sunday Mass. Today, we hear Jesus say to the disciples, ‘Come away to a deserted place and rest a while.” This is the true spirit of sabbath—to take time away, to worship God, participate in Eucharist, to be refreshed in body, mind, and spirit. Thought of in this way, sabbath is not an obligation but a privilege, a gift rather than a burden. Making sabbath begins with a commitment to put God first. That is what the shepherds that Jeremiah called for were to do, to lead the people to be people of and for God. This is what Jesus, the Good Shepherd, leads us to do, and he shows us how to do this. Not only does Jesus take time away for prayer and to “rest a while,” he also spends time with the people who need him. In sabbath, we spend time with God, family, our faith community, and friends. And this spending time “with” helps us to re-orient our lives toward what is most important. From Sabbath to the rest of the week Taking sabbath to heart has a significant impact on the way in which we live our lives, practically and spiritually. The practical part is evident on the surface. Setting aside time for Sunday Mass, quiet, and time with others requires planning and commitment. There is a practical dimension to the physical and emotional benefits of such time away from the stress and busyness of our daily lives as well. The spiritual impact of sabbath may take a little while to begin to perceive. When we put God first in our lives, everything else falls into place in a different, holier way. We begin to see God’s grace in the daily circumstances of our lives, and to grow in understanding of what we are to do and how we are called to act. We know who we are in God’s sight, and whose we are, as children of God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Decimosexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

EL DESCANSO SABATINO El descanso sabatino. Escuchamos esas palabras y muchas personas piensan en la obligación de ir a la Misa dominical. Hoy, escuchamos a Jesús que dice a sus discípulos: “Vengan a un lugar solitario a descansar por un rato”. Este es el verdadero espíritu del descanso sabatino, dedicar un tiempo para alabar a Dios, participar en la Eucaristía, para refrescar el cuerpo, la mente y el espíritu. Pensando de esta manera, el descanso sabatino no es una obligación sino un privilegio, un don en lugar de una carga. Hacer el descanso sabatino comienza con un compromiso puesto primero en Dios. Eso es lo que los pastores que Jeremías llamó fueron a hacer, guiar al pueblo para ser el pueblo de y para Dios. Esto es lo que Jesús, el Buen Pastor, nos guía a hacer, y él nos muestra cómo hacerlo. No solamente Jesús dedica un tiempo para la oración y “descanso por un rato”, él también dedica tiempo a las personas que lo necesitan. En el día de descanso, dedicamos tiempo con Dios, la familia, nuestra comunidad de fe y amigos. Y este tiempo dedicado “con” nos ayuda a reorientar nuestras vidas hacia lo que es más importante.

DEL DIA DE DESCANSO AL RESTO DE LA SEMANA Tomar el día de descanso de corazón tiene un significado importante en la forma en la cual vivimos nuestras vidas, práctica y espiritualmente. La parte práctica es evidente superficialmente. Dedicar un tiempo para la Misa dominical, tranquilo y el tiempo para estar con otras personas requiere planificación y compromiso. Hay una dimensión practica de los beneficios físicos y emocionales de ese tiempo puesto aparte y alejado del estrés y la ocupación de nuestras vidas del diario también. El impacto espiritual del día de descanso puede tomarse algo de tiempo para empezar a percibirse. Cuando ponemos a Dios en primer lugar en nuestras vidas, todo lo demás se acomoda de una manera más santa. Empezamos a ver la gracia de Dios en las circunstancias diarias de nuestras vidas, y a crecer en entendimiento de lo que estamos haciendo y cómo estamos llamados a actuar. Sabemos quiénes somos ante la vista de Dios, y quienes somos como hijos de Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
