Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up
a righteous shoot to David. — Jeremiah 23:5a
GOD’S WORD TODAY Today’s Gospel passage is one of the most moving in all of scripture. Even though most of us do not have ex-perience as sheep farmers, we can nevertheless try to picture the metaphor used at the end of this Gospel reading. Jesus looks out on the crowd and is moved with pity for them, for they “were like sheep without a shepherd.” Apparently sheep are not the brightest of God’s creatures and are in constant need of their shep-herd. One might wonder what the attitude of Christ would be today if he gazed on this world of ours. Would he be moved to pity because we, too, are like sheep without a shepherd? Let us pray that God’s word pro-claimed this day will inspire us to cling to the Good Shepherd and listen to his teachings. From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copyright © J. S. Paluch Company
TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — I shall gather the remnant of my flock and bring them back to their meadow (Jeremiah 23:1-6).

GOD WITHIN God dwells in a secret and hidden way in all souls, in their very substance, for if God did not,
they could not exist at all. —St. John of the Cross

CHRIST’S PRESENCE IN THE WORLD There’s a bit of a “missing link” in the first two sentences of today’s Gospel from Mark. In the first, the apostles return from having been sent out on mission two by two (“one who is sent” is the mean-ing of “apostle”). Their instructions were to preach repentance, drive out demons, and heal the sick in Jesus’ name. In the second sentence, Jesus tells them to come away with him and rest a while. It would be nice for us to imagine that, between those two sentences, a look of amazed gratitude and pleasure crossed the face of Jesus as he hears of the kingdom proclaimed in his name, and how they didn’t have to shake the dust off their feet anywhere. They deserved a rest! It might not be bad for us, when we gather together with Jesus as the apostles do today, to do this kind of debriefing, allowing the Lord to hear what we’ve sought to do in his name, our suc-cesses, our failures, our need to get away with him for a while to be fortified for further work in God’s name. For we, the baptized, are not only the flock of Jesus Christ; through water and the power of the Spirit we have also become the Body of Christ, the presence of the Shepherd for the life of the world.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION When Catholicism encounters a culture, it tends to approach the culture with a measure of respect for its key customs, especially those touching family life. Around the world, these long‑established customs are often received into the liturgy, sometimes with a new level of interpretation. From Old Mexico, the custom of the lasso (“cord”) has migrated across borders, and is now firmly established in the marriage liturgy of Spanish‑speaking Catholics in the United States. It’s a large cord, sometimes resembling rosary beads, looped around the necks of the newlyweds in a fig-ure‑eight shape. It is a great honor for a person, nor-mally a godparent or close relative, to place the lasso around the shoulders of the couple, groom first. The lasso, a symbol of profound unity, remains in place throughout the liturgy until removed, usually by the priest. The bride keeps the lasso as a memento of the day, a sign of her ties of love to her husband in heart and home. The tender ministry of the godparent in this ceremony clearly links this sacrament of vocation with baptism. It’s not unusual to see the lasso made of fragrant orange blossoms, harking back to very ancient pre‑Christian rituals seeking the blessings of fertility and happiness. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
MISSION God has created me to do some definite service. God has committed some work to me which has not
been committed to another. I have a mission. —John Henry Newman

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El evangelista Mateo (14:21) recuenta que cuan-do Jesús multiplicó los panes, dio de comer a “unos cinco mil hombres, sin contar las mujeres y los ni-ños”. Este pequeño detalle lo tiene sólo él. Mateo escribió su Evangelio para los cristianos de origen judío, por lo cual contiene muchos detalles que sola-mente reconocen aquellas personas de origen judío. Por ejemplo, el detalle acerca del número y la clasifi-cación de personas que comieron del pan multiplica-do. En aquella época, la religión judía sólo permitía la participación del varón. Las mujeres y los niños no contaban para el culto, ni en la toma de decisiones en la casa. Por lo tanto, al subrayar la presencia de las mujeres y los niños, Mateo indica que en la Igle-sia o comunidad cristiana, las mujeres y los niños participan activamente. También ellos comen y reci-ben de la bondad de Jesús. Esto engrandece la maravilla del milagro, porque el número de personas que comieron se multiplica. Pero más importante aún, subraya la apertura de la comunidad nueva, instaurada por Jesús, la Iglesia, donde ni mujeres ni niños deben ser relegados. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S.

DIOS DENTRO DE MI Dios está de una forma secreta y escondida dentro de las paredes de nuestra alma; en su
misma substancia, por que si no fuera así, no podría existir del todo.
—San Juan de la Cruz.
LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — El Señor reunirá el resto del re-baño 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 judios tienen acceso en un sólo Espíritu (Efesios 2:13-18). Evangelio — Cansados, Jesús y los apóstoles tratan de irse hacia un lugar retirado para descansar (Marcos 6:30-34).
LA PRESENCIA DE CRISTO EN EL MUNDO Hay una cierta “conexión” que falta entre las dos primeras oraciones del Evangelio de hoy. En la pri-mera los apóstoles regresan de la misión a la que habían sido enviados de dos en dos (“apóstol” en griego significa “enviado”). Habían sido enviados a predicar la conversión, a expulsar a los demonios, y a sanar a los enfermos en el nombre de Jesús. En la segunda oración, Jesús les dice que se vengan con él a un lugar solitario para descansar un poco. Nos gustaría pensar que, entre esas dos oraciones, una expresión de placer y gratitud cruzó el rostro de Jesús al oír como el Reino ha sido proclamado en su nombre, y como no tuvieron que sacudirse el polvo de los pies en ninguna parte. ¡Bien se merecían un descanso! A nosotros tampoco nos vendría mal, cu-ando nos juntamos alrededor de Jesús como los apóstoles en el Evangelio de hoy, que nos tomára-mos un descanso, para que el Señor pueda escuchar lo que hemos hecho en su nombre –nuestros éxitos, nuestras decepciones, nuestra necesidad de “escaparnos” un rato con él para que nos fortalezca para seguir trabajando en el nombre de Dios. Ya que nosotros los bautizados no somos sólo el rebaño de Cristo; por el agua y el Espíritu hemos sido transfor-mados en el Cuerpo mismo de Cristo, la presencia del pastor para dar vida al mundo.

CARTA ENCÍCLICA LAUDATO SI’
DEL SANTO PADRE FRANCISCO
SOBRE EL CUIDADO DE LA CASA COMÚN 87. Cuando tomamos conciencia del reflejo de Dios que hay en todo lo que existe, el corazón experimen-ta el deseo de adorar al Señor por todas sus criaturas y junto con ellas, como se expresa en el precioso himno de san Francisco de Asís:
Alabado seas, mi Señor, con todas tus criaturas, especialmente el hermano sol, por quien nos das el día y nos iluminas. Y es bello y radiante con gran esplendor, de ti, Altísimo, lleva significación. Alabado seas, mi Señor, por la hermana luna y las estrellas, en el cielo las formaste claras y preciosas, y bellas. Alabado seas, mi Señor, por el hermano viento y por el aire, y la nube y el cielo sereno, y todo tiempo, por todos ellos a tus criaturas das sustento. Alabado seas, mi Señor, por la hermana agua, la cual es muy humilde, y preciosa y casta. Alabado seas, mi Señor, por el hermano fuego, por el cual iluminas la noche, y es bello, y alegre y vigoroso, y fuerte[64].
ENCYCLICAL LETTER LAUDATO SI’
OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS
ON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME 87. When we can see God reflected in all that ex-ists, our hearts are moved to praise the Lord for all his creatures and to worship him in union with them. This sentiment finds magnificent expression in the hymn of Saint Francis of Assisi:
Praised be you, my Lord, with all your creatures, especially Sir Brother Sun, who is the day and through whom you give us light. And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendour; and bears a likeness of you, Most High. Praised be you, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars, in heaven you formed them clear and precious and beautiful. Praised be you, my Lord, through Brother Wind, and through the air, cloudy and serene, and every kind of weather through whom you give sustenance to your creatures. Praised be you, my Lord, through Sister Water, who is very useful and humble and precious and chaste. Praised be you, my Lord, through Brother Fire, through whom you light the night, and he is beautiful and playful and robust and strong”.[64]
