THE TIRELESS SHEPHERD How can our wounded world be healed? How can barriers be broken down, reconciliation begin and healing take place? This is certainly a question for this new century, but it is a question as old as the world. In today’s first reading, the prophet Jeremiah describes a torn and broken world. He looks to the leadership in the land and finds it lacking. He writes of shepherds who mislead and scatter. Such bad shepherds, then and now, might be political leaders. But they might also be leaders of families, of industry, of education, or of any human institution. Jeremiah foretold the coming of Jesus, “a righteous shoot to David” (Jeremiah 23:5). He foretold a shepherd who would gather the sheep, a king who would govern wisely. In today’s Gospel, Mark describes this shepherd king. He and his apostles were tired and had gone away to rest. But they were met by a crowd of people searching for his teaching. We are told that Jesus pitied them, seeing them as “sheep without a shepherd” (Mark 6:34). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Company

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 meaning 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 successes, 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.

“It is normal to grieve a pregnancy loss, including the loss of a child by abortion. A hole in one's heart can form so deep that sometimes nothing can fill the emptiness.” H.E.A.R.T. provides a confidential, non-judgmental, and caring group that will journey with you on the road to hope and healing from pregnancy loss due to abortion. Abortion recovery helps overcome the emotional trauma and spiritual issues experienced after an abortion. The H.E.A.R.T. group explores grief, guilt, anger, depression, fear, un-forgiveness, and shame associated with abortion while trusting in the love, mercy, and grace of God to restore us to wholeness. The H.E.A.R.T. group will meet August 7, 2015 to October 2, 2015 (9 sessions) from 3pm to 4pm at Foundations of Life Pregnancy Center, 2021 East Busch Boulevard in Tampa.

Decimosexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 19 de julio de 2015 Viene un tiempo, dice el Señor, en que haré surgir un renuevo en el tronco de David. — Jeremías 23:5a
Domingo 19 de Julio de 2015. Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Un rebaño puede dar la sensación de un grupo de gente sin personalidad, que va donde van todos, que se deja arrastrar sin saber por qué. Sin embargo, podemos darnos cuenta que el Señor, no quiere hacer de nosotros un rebaño sin personalidad, que le sigue sin saber por qué. Cuando Dios nos promete un pastor que reunirá a las ovejas dispersas, cuando cantamos que el Señor es nuestro pastor, cuando escuchamos en el evangelio que Jesús se compadece de la gente "porque andaban como ovejas sin pastor", no nos está invitando a ser como un rebaño sin voluntad y sin personalidad, sino todo lo contrario, nos está diciendo que reconocerlo a Él como Pastor es reconocer, que en Él tenemos la vida, que sólo Él puede liberarnos plenamente, que sólo siguiéndolo a Él podemos llegar a ser completamente personas. Hay tres tipos de personas que no son capaces de buscar a Jesús, que no son capaces de ir al encuentro de Jesús como pastor, como guía. Son tres modos de ser y de actuar, y los tres impiden desear formar parte del rebaño de Jesús. A los tres se les puede aplicar, aunque de modo distinto, el nombre de "materialistas". El primero es el de la gente que tiene mucho dinero. Jesús los critica con mucha dureza, y dice muy claramente que quien va tras el dinero no puede ir con Él. ¿Por qué? Es muy simple: porque si uno tiene mucho dinero y muchas ganas de acumular más, significa que cree que eso es lo que da verdadero sentido a su vida, y no necesita a nadie que lo guíe. Se siente satisfecho con su riqueza y su prestigio y no anhela las nuevas posibilidades, la nueva vida que Jesús ofrece. Ese es el peor materialismo. El segundo tipo es el de los que andan por la vida sin preocuparse de nada, que no desean mejorar nada, que no se preocupan por lo que les pueda ocurrir a los que están a su alrededor. Son la gente que no hace daño a nadie, pero tampoco hace bien, porque no hacen nada. Estos, claro está, tampoco sienten ninguna necesidad de seguir a Jesús, de abrirse a nuevos caminos, de buscar la salvación y la vida. No se sienten "como ovejas sin pastor". Simplemente, no se sienten nada. Y el tercer tipo es el de los que sí sienten que el mundo y los hombres vivimos a menudo en el desconcierto, y que se deben buscar nuevos caminos y nuevas posibilidades. Pero creen que esto debemos hacerlo los hombres solos, y que no necesitamos a nadie que nos guíe, y nos transforme por dentro, y nos de fuerza, impulso, y plenitud. Esos, que con frecuencia trabajan muy en serio y con verdadera dedicación al servicio de los demás y de un mundo más digno, son muchas veces personas admirables. Pero les falta esa esperanza que va más allá de sus obras, esa esperanza que nos ha abierto Jesús, nuestro Pastor, nuestro Señor muerto y resucitado. P. Jairo

Para Reflexionar El Señor, espera de nosotros un corazón compasivo y misericordioso Jesús se nos muestra en todos los Evangelios, como la expresión plena del amor por los hombres. Su carácter está lleno de sentimientos por todos y cada uno de los hijos de Dios. El siente una profunda pena y lástima por la desgracia o por el sufrimiento ajeno. El nunca deja de conmoverse, siempre nos enseña esa natural inclinación a compadecerse y mostrarse comprensivo ante las miserias y sufrimientos, siempre motivado por un auténtico sentimiento de afecto, cariño y solidaridad, como lo hace ahora hacia aquella gente que estaba cansada y hambrienta, por querer estar en su compañía, es así como sintió una gran compasión y les estuvo regalando sus bellas enseñanzas por largo rato.
Retiros “La Viña de Raquel” La Viña de Raquel nos ofrece un lugar seguro donde se logra reconstruir y redimir los corazones rotos por motivo de un aborto. Allí se ofrece un ambiente confidencial donde no se le juzga, y donde hombres y mujeres pueden expresarse y reconciliar aquellas emociones que han suscitado después de un aborto, y así comenzar el proceso de renovación y sanación. El próximo retiro en español será: el 31 de Julio al 2 de Agosto, 2015. Para más información: 813-500-9785. projectrachel@ccdosp.org o www.rachelsvineyard.org

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).
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El evangelista Mateo (14:21) recuenta que cuando Jesús multiplicó los panes, dio de comer a “unos cinco mil hombres, sin contar las mujeres y los niños”. Este pequeño detalle lo tiene sólo él. Mateo escribió su Evangelio para los cristianos de origen judío, por lo cual contiene muchos detalles que solamente reconocen aquellas personas de origen judío. Por ejemplo, el detalle acerca del número y la clasificación de personas que comieron del pan multiplicado. 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 Iglesia o comunidad cristiana, las mujeres y los niños participan activamente. También ellos comen y reciben 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.
