Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
July 22, 2012 Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD,
when I will raise up a righteous shoot to
David.— Jeremiah 23:5a
THE DAYS ARE COMING
Separation, isolation, and hostility are terrible things. We are, sadly, too
familiar with all of them in our modern life, whether we look at world events or
events in our own neighborhoods and families. All three readings today refer to
these same sad human conditions.
The prophet Jeremiah describes world conditions as if the people of his time
were sheep who had been scattered by poor leadership and corrupt shepherds.
But “the days are coming,” he assures us (Jeremiah 23:5), when a new shepherd,
a just king, will come. We meet that king in the second reading and the Gospel.
Paul reminds us in the Letter to the Ephesians that all divisions can now cease in
Christ Jesus, who has brought us together through his blood. In Mark’s Gospel
we see Jesus himself, looking with pity on those searching for him as if they were

ST. BRIDGET
St. Bridget arrived in Ireland a
few years after St. Patrick. Her
father was an Irish lord named
Duptace.
As Bridget grew up, she became holier and more pious
each day. She
loved the poor
and would often bring food
and clothing to
them. One day
she gave away a
whole pail of
milk, and then
began to worry
about what her
mother would
say. She prayed
to the Lord to
make up for
what she had
given away. When she got
home, her pail was full!
Bridget was a very pretty
young girl, and her father
thought that it was time for
her to marry. She, however,
had given herself entirely to
God when she was very small,
and she would not think of
marrying anyone. When she
learned that her beauty was
the reason for the attentions
of so many young men, she
prayed fervently to God to
take it from her. She wanted
to belong to Him alone. God
granted her
prayer. Seeing
that his daughter was no
longer pretty,
her father gladly
agreed when
Bridget asked to
become a Nun.
She became the
first Religious in
Ireland and
founded a convent so that
other young girls
might become
Nuns. When she consecrated
herself to God, a miracle happened. She became very
beautiful again! Bridget made
people think of the Blessed
Mother because she was so
pure and sweet, so lovely and
gentle. They called her the
"Mary of the Irish."

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION
"Stewardship:
A Generosity of Heart"
After King Solomon’s reign, the Israelites divided into north and south kingdoms which were eventually conquered. The Israelites were
then driven into exile. God spoke through his prophets telling the leaders that he would gather the people to himself
and appoint new leaders to shepherd his flock. Jesus sees
the people following him and compares them to sheep without a shepherd. St. Paul recognizes that Jesus has destroyed
the barriers dividing the old kingdoms and gathered the scattered people together. May we recognize Christ as our
Shepherd and bring others to his flock.
