PASTORAL CORNERJULY 18, 2021The Steward’s Work Is Never DoneWoe to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock! When you hear thesestrong words from the Old Testament, you’re probably thinking, thankgoodness I don’t have any sheep — dodged that bullet. Nobody misled here!No flock scattered on my watch! However, we are all shepherds of a kind,called to tend our own sheep: our families, our parishes, our communities.But it’s exhausting. Don’t we all sometimes just want to take a break frombeing a steward? The excuses are so familiar: we’re tired, we’ve done enough,we’ve given all we can, what more does the parish (or my spouse, or my kids, or my boss, or myfriends, or my community) want? We give ourselves permission to be selfish. So, what if the flockscatters just a little?Jesus gets that. We can just imagine him weary with exhaustion, can’t we? We see him on hisboat, attempting to sneak away for a quick break — maybe just a chance to eat a bite of food inpeace. He is God, but he was still human, after all. Even the most dedicated shepherds need tosleep. But people couldn’t leave him alone. They were hungry for him. They needed what hecould offer, and they needed it now.As tough as it is, that’s the example we are tasked with imitating. Everyday Stewardship demandsaccountability. It demands our showing up even when we are tired. It demands that we look at ourlives, our time, our energies, our talents, our hearts, our bank accounts and think: where do I stillhave more to give?— Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS LPiPlease note:Readings for the week of July 18, 2021Sunday: Jer 23:1-6/Ps 23:1-3, 3-4, 5, 6 [1]/Eph 2:13-18/Mk 6:3034Monday: Ex 14:5-18/Ex 15:1bc,-2, 3-4, 5-6 [1b]/Mt 12:38-42Tuesday: Ex 14:21—15:1/Ex 15:8-9, 10 and 12, 17 [1b]/Mt 12:46-50Wednesday: Ex 16:1-5, 9-15/Ps 78:18-19, 23-24, 25-26, 27-28[24b]/Mt 13:1-9Thursday: Sg 3:1-4b or 2 Cor 5:14-17/Ps 63:2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9 [2]/Jn20:1-2, 11-18Friday: Ex 20:1-17/Ps 19:8, 9, 10, 11 [cf.

FAITH FORMATIONChildren’s Weekly Gospel ReflectionIn today’s Gospel we find the disciples tired after many days of traveling and preaching. Jesus knew that hisdisciples were tired, and he wanted to spend some quiet time with them. But they weren’t able to do that on thisday because the crowds kept following them. Jesus also wants to spend quiet time with us, and he invites us to dothis in our prayer. Now that Jesus is with God in heaven, he is able to be with us whenever we pray. As we settlein at the end of the day, we can spend time with Jesus in prayer.Congratulations to the newestmembers of our Catholic faith whowere recently Baptized in ourparishes!Maine Catholics, non-practicing Catholics,and non-Catholics are encouraged to visitthe new “Welcome Home” section on the Diocese of Portland website atwww.portlanddiocese.org/welcome-home.

Protestant Bibles have only 39books in the Old Testament, however, while Catholic Bibles have 46. The seven books included in Catholic Biblesare Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach, and Baruch.

The Catholic Church believes these books to be inspired by the Holy Spirit.5
