GOSPEL MEDITATION News From Other Sources July 22, 2018 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time "Now what?" It's a difficult thing to hear, isn't it? The train Golf to Help the Peltier Family comes late, a child unexpectedly cries, and the latest public Northside Knights of Columbus policy debate flares up in the news. Life throws us curveballs, 4451’s annual Vince Shannon and we have no choice but to adapt. Jesus and the Apostles Memorial Golf Tournament find themselves in that exact situation in today's Gospel. fundraiser, for parishes and the The Apostles have returned from their two-by-two missionary Peltier Family journey. As Jesus hears all of their stories, he knows they need time to recover and refresh. "Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while." Their wilderness retreat is short-lived, however, as eager crowds discover their location. Jesus is well aware of the needs of his disciples. Still, as he looks out at the crowd, "His heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd." The rest break is over. "He began to teach them many things." For those of us who have experienced a taste of much-needed relaxation only to have it taken away abruptly, perhaps we sur- mise what the Apostles might have been feeling in that moment. But Jesus isn't being inconsiderate of the Apostles needs. He offers them - and us - a lived lesson. St. John Paul II wrote, "The whole of Christ's life was a continual teaching: his silenc- es, his miracles, his gestures, his prayer, his love for people, his special affection for the little and the poor, his acceptance of the total sacrifice on the Cross for the redemption of the world" (On Catechesis in Our Time, 9). In Jesus' choice to teach, we see all of these things: sacrificial love, concern for the mar- ginalized, and priority of people's needs over personal prefer- ence. These aren't abstract ideals. They're lived realities as we strive to live and love like Jesus. When a new obstacle con- fronts you in your life, how do you respond?

LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK The many images we have of God help frame our relationship with Him. Have we ever imagined Jesus so deeply moved with emotion and engulfed with pity for us? We often are sheep without a shepherd who are lured by the emptiness of worldly attractions and superficial desires. We become lost. God, in the depth of His being, is deeply moved by our pain, loneliness, and heartache. God does not judge or condemn. He loves and is mercy itself. He knows firsthand the pain that comes with being lost and alone and desires to teach us about His merciful love. Do we want to be taught? Listen to God's word and be Knights of Columbus MEN'S NIGHT OUT open to God's presence in the Eucharist.
