Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Here are the readings for the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time,
July 22, 2012:
Jeremiah 23: 1-6
Psalm 23: 1-6
Ephesians 2: 13-18
Mark 6: 30-34

Do you find it easy to identify with the events in the Gospel this week? Remember, last Sunday we heard about Jesus sending the apostles out in pairs, trusting in the hospitality of the villages they visited, and told to heal and preach. Now, they've reconvened and Jesus is trying to find a bit of privacy to help them reflect on/debrief their experiences. Those of you with small children can probably identify with the feelings of trying to get just enough time to eat, or even take a shower!
  • Why do you think the people were so insistent on being around Jesus?
  • How did Jesus react?
  • How do you react when 'just one more thing' delays your 'me time'?
The topic for the Catechumenate session this Sunday is Pastoral Ministry.
The next Inquiry session is Tuesday, July 24 at 7:00pm.
The Mystagogia group next meets on August 12.
