Sixteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time

In today's Gospel, Mk 6:30-34 we read of the return of the Twelve, who were sent by Jesus to preach repentance, heal the sick, and drive out demons. When they returned to Jesus, he invites them to come away from the crowds and rest. But the crowds continue to mob them. To get away, Jesus and his disciples board a boat and look for a deserted place. But the crowds learn this and arrive ahead of them.

When Jesus looked up and saw “the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd.” They were so in need of a shepherd to lead them that they did not want to let Jesus go.

Today, we also need good shepherds. We pray for the government to inspire us to see beyond our self-interest. We pray that corporate leaders will make decisions that help the employees. We want academic leaders to challenge their students to serve the common good. We pray for the media to promote human decency, compassion, rather than promoting obscenity, human trafficking, and greed.

Looking for a Worthwhile Volunteer Opportunity?

Volunteers are needed for the Interfaith Food Pantry’s Home Delivery program.  This is a very worthwhile program which matches volunteers with homebound clients in need of food.

Volunteers receive training and deliver groceries once or twice per month to a homebound client.  Volunteers are urgently needed for clients living in Netcong, Flanders, Budd Lake, Hackettstown, Butler, Mount Arlington and other outer edge Morris County towns. This is a long term commitment and all groceries are selected from our IFP shelves.  The Interfaith Food Pantry is located at 2 Executive Drive, Morris Plains, NJ.  For more information about this program or to get involved, please contact Denise Hurtado-Valdez at 973-538-8049, x233 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
