JULY 18, 2021 ♦ SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
PAGE 2 JULY 18, 2021 ♦ 16TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME Dear Faith Family of Our Lady of Grace, Happy Summer! The flocks were small in Jesus’ day. A shepherd could indeed name each one and the herd knew his voice by heart, just as the family dog knows yours. So, in Jesus’ day, good shepherds would search and search for a lost sheep. Or find one turned absurdly on its back, unable to roll over again because of its full fleece. The shepherd took his “crook,” which had a big curve on one end, and easily maneu- ver the sheep to its feet. If there was real danger, as for instance if wolves were ready to pounce, the shepherd would take out his “staff,” a pole-like instrument, and deal with the predators. Bad shepherds, on the other hand, would actually sca er the sheep; drive them away without care. The sheep feared and trembled, and many went missing. Some mes workers were hired who were not shepherds at all and who simply ran away when a wolf approached (Jn 10:12). God’s anger flamed out against such bad shepherds. Of course, these sheep and shepherds were symbols represen ng God’s people and their rulers. In the Responsorial Psalm, Jesus was the Good Shepherd. What about the Gospel? So many people were coming and going that Jesus and his apostles “had no opportunity even to eat.” He advised his friends to come away with him to a quiet place to rest. Even shepherds must take a break. They used a boat to go to a deserted area. But the needy people saw where the boat was headed, and they went there and formed a “vast crowd”! What should Jesus do? Start ministering again instead of res ng? The Gospel says, “his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd,” so “he began to teach them many things.” God’s words in the First Reading had come true: “I myself will gather the remnant of my flock and bring them back to their meadow.” The ques on for you and me is not whether we should go without our rest and food and become workaholics for the sake of others. It is whether our own hearts are ever moved with pity for the sca ered and fear-filled sheep of our own me. Can we love them as Jesus does? As he loves each of us? Can we imitate God’s good shepherd? Please spread the word about the reopening of Our Lady of Grace. We are fully open. Gradually in September, we will resume our ministries. Please get in touch with our fellow parishioners if you can and encourage them to return to Sunday Mass at Our Lady of Grace!! Know that everyone here is a blessing!! From Pope Francis in an Instagram post from July 5th … “Like Paul, we are called to be set free from hypocri cal outward show, free from the tempta on to present ourselves with worldly power rather than with the weakness that makes space for God, free from a religiosity that makes us rigid and inflexi- ble, free from dubious associa ons with power and from the fear of being misunderstood and a acked.” I think this is good stuff. Too o en, so many of us are just incredibly consumed with power … our minds set on being seen … or the center of a en on … with a “look at me!” a tude. As we strive to grow in the virtues, let us be reminded that this is so the opposite of the great virtue of humility. Travelling this summer? Check out massƟmes.org for informa on on Masses while away. Don’t miss the Holy Eucharist! While travelling, please consider con nuing to support your parish. In Jesus and Mary, -Fr. Marinello Saguin
PAGE 3 JULY 18, 2021 ♦ 16TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME Querida Familia de Fe, ¡Feliz verano! Los rebaños eran pequeños en los días de Jesús. De hecho, un pastor podía nombrar a cada uno y la manada se sabía su voz de memoria, al igual que el perro de la familia conoce la suya. Así que, en los días de Jesús, los pastores buscaban y buscaban una oveja perdida. El pastor tomó su "ladrón", que tenía una gran curva en un extremo, y maniobrar fácilmente las ovejas a sus pies. Si había un peligro real, como por ejemplo si los lobos estuvieran listos para abalanzarse, el pastor sacaría su "bastón", un instrumento similar a un poste, y trataría con los depreda- dores. Los malos pastores, por otro lado, en realidad dispersarían a las ovejas; las alejarían sin cuidado. Las ovejas temieron y tem- blaron, y muchas desaparecieron. A veces se contrataban trabajadores que no eran pastores en absoluto y que simplemente huían cuando un lobo se acercaba (Jn 10,12). La ira de Dios ardió contra los malos pastores. Por supuesto, estas ovejas y pastores eran símbolos que representaban al pueblo de Dios y a sus gobernantes. En el Salmo Responsorial, Jesús era el Buen Pastor. ¿Qué pasa con el Evangelio? Tantas personas iban y venían que Jesús y sus apóstoles "no tuvieron la oportunidad ni siquiera de comer". Aconsejó a sus amigos que se marchara con él a un lugar tranqui- lo para descansar. Incluso los pastores deben tomar un descanso. U lizaron un bote para ir a una zona desierta. Pero las personas necesitadas vieron hacia dónde se dirigía el barco, ¡y fueron allí y formaron una "gran mul tud"! ¿Qué debe hacer Jesús? ¿Empezar a ministrar de nuevo en lugar de descansar? El Evangelio dice, "su corazón se conmovió con piedad por ellos, porque eran como ovejas sin pastor", así que "comenzó a enseñarles muchas cosas". Las palabras de Dios en la Primera Lectura se habían hecho realidad: "Yo mismo recogeré a la oveja perdida de mi rebaño y los llevaré de vuelta a su prado". La pregunta para usted y para mí no es si deberíamos prescindir de nuestro descanso y comida y conver rnos en adictos al trabajo por el bien de los demás. Es si nuestros propios corazones alguna vez se mueven con lás ma por las ovejas dispersas y llenas de miedo de nuestro propio empo. ¿Podemos amarlos como lo hace Jesús? ¿Como él nos ama a cada uno de nosotros? ¿Podemos imitar al buen pastor de Dios? Por favor, corra la voz sobre la reapertura de Nuestra Señora de Gracia. Estamos totalmente abiertos. Poco a poco, en sep- embre, retomaremos nuestros ministerios. Por favor, póngase en contacto con nuestro compañero feligreses si se puede y animarlos a volver a la misa dominical en Nuestra Señora de Gracia!! ¡¡Sepa que todos aquí es una bendición!! Del Papa Francisco en una publicación de Instagram del 5 de julio ... "Al igual que Pablo, estamos llamados a ser liberados del espectáculo exterior hipócrita, libres de la tentación de presentarnos con poder mundanos más que con la debilidad que hace espacio para Dios, libre de una religiosidad que nos hace rígidos e inflexi- bles, libres de dudosas asociaciones con el poder y del miedo de ser incomprendido y atacado". Creo que esto es algo bueno. Con demasiada frecuencia, muchos de nosotros estamos in- creíblemente consumidos con energía ... nuestras mentes puestas en ser vistos ... o el centro de atención ... con una ac tud de "¡mírame!". Mientras nos esforzamos por crecer en las virtudes, recordemos que esto es todo lo contra- rio de la gran virtud de la humildad. ¿Viajara este verano? Echa un vistazo a www.massƟmes.org para obtener información sobre las misas mientras estás fuera. ¡No se pierda de la Santa Eucaris a! Durante sus viajes, y por favor considere con nuar apoyando su parroquia. En Jesús y María, -Padre Marinello Saguin
