July 21, 2024: 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time

God has sent us a Good Shepherd in Jesus Christ, to undo the harm of shepherds who didn't have a heart for their people.

Christ reestablished justice and righteousness.  By the offering of Himself, He brought God and His people back together again.

He did so with a compassionate heart.  Even though He and the apostles needed a rest, Christ saw the crowd and was moved to meet their needs, teaching them that which would lead them to Eternal Life.

Truly, He offered His Presence as a gift.  And in light of the 10th National Eucharistic Congress that concluded with Mass today in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, He continues to offer the gift of Himself for the Life of the World.

When we enter into this life, we share in the mission to bring that Life to others by offering ourselves as God's presence to others.
