Sunday Bible Reflection by Dr. Scott Hahn
Today’s liturgy brings together several strands of Old
Testament expectation to reveal Jesus as Israel’s promised
Messiah and King, the Lord who comes to feed His people.
Notice the parallels between today’s Gospel and First
Reading. Both Elisha and Jesus face a crowd of hungry
people with only a few “barley” loaves. We hear similar
words about how impossible it will be to feed the crowd
with so little. And in both the miraculous multiplication of
bread satisfies the hungry and leaves food left over. The
Elisha story looks back to Moses, the prophet who fed
God’s people in the wilderness (see Exodus 16). Moses
prophesied that God would send a prophet like him
(see Deuteronomy 18:15–19). The crowd in today’s
Gospel, witnessing His miracle, identifies Jesus as that
prophet. The Gospel today again shows Jesus to be the
Lord, the good shepherd, who makes His people lie down
on green grass and spreads a table before them (see Psalm
23:1, 5). The miraculous feeding is a sign that God has
begun to fulfill His promise, which we sing of in today’s
Psalm—to give His people food in due season and satisfy
their desire (see Psalm 81:17). But Jesus points to the final
fulfillment of that promise in the Eucharist. He does the
same things He does at the Last Supper—He takes the
loaves, pronounces a blessing of thanksgiving (literally,
“eucharist”), and gives the bread to the people
(see Matthew 26:26). Notice, too, that twelve baskets of
bread are left over, one for each of the Apostles. These are
signs that should point us to the Eucharist—in which the
Church founded on the Apostles continues to feed us with
the living bread of His Body. In this Eucharist, we are
made one Body with the Lord, as we hear in today’s
Epistle. Let us resolve again, then, to live lives worthy of
such a great calling.
TRY “FORMED”
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.

You Deserve a Break
July is often remembered for its excessive heat, picnics with relatives and friends and of course, time at the beach. We work very hard and deserve leisure time. Some people, due to the hardships of life, have difficulty enjoying recreation in any form. Catholic Charities reaches out to those who suffer. Please help us to continue our mission by contributing to the clothing bin.

REFLEXIÓN BIBLICA DOMINICAL DEL DR. SCOTT HAHN
La liturgia de hoy presenta varias referencias a las que el
Antiguo Testamento aludía para revelar a Jesús como el
Mesías y Rey, como el Señor que viene a alimentar a su
pueblo. Notemos el paralelismo que existe entre el
evangelio de hoy y la primera lectura. Jesús, al igual que
Eliseo, está frente a un grupo de gente hambrienta, con
solamente unos pocos panes de cebada; es evidente la
imposibilidad de satisfacer a tanta gente con tan poco.
Además, en las dos lecturas, la multiplicación de pan no
solo satisface a la gente sino también deja sobras. A su vez,
la historia de Eliseo recuerda a Moisés, el profeta, que le
dio de comer al pueblo de Dios en el desierto (cfr. Ex 16).
Moisés profetizó que Dios iba a mandar un profeta como él
(cfr. Dt 18, 15-19). La muchedumbre que presencia en el
evangelio de hoy la multiplicación de los panes, identifica
a Jesús como ese profeta. El evangelio de este domingo
nos muestra a Jesús como Señor, el Buen Pastor, que hace
reposar a su pueblo en las verdes praderas y prepara un
banquete para ellos (cfr. S 23, 1.5). El milagro de alimentar
a la multitud es una señal de que Dios ha comenzado a
cumplir su promesa, algo de lo cual habla también el salmo
de hoy cuando dice: “y tú los alimentas a su tiempo” (S
144, 15; cfr. S 81, 17). Sin embargo, Jesús conduce nuestra
atención hacia el cumplimiento definitivo de esa promesa
en la Eucaristía. Hace los mismos gestos que en la Última
Cena: Toma los panes, pronuncia una bendición de acción
de gracias (significado literal del término griego eucaristía)
y le da el pan al pueblo (cfr. Mt 26, 26). Es notorio que al
final sobran 12 canastas de pan, una por cada apóstol.
Estas signos deben de dirigirnos hacia la Eucaristía, en la
que la Iglesia fundada sobre los apóstoles continúa
alimentándonos con el pan vivo de su Cuerpo. En la
Eucaristía, somos hechos un solo cuerpo con el Señor,
como escuchamos en la epístola de hoy. Dispongámonos a
llevar una vida acorde con tan digna vocación.

TEMA DO 17º DOMINGO DO TEMPO COMUM
A liturgia do 17º domingo Comum dá-nos conta da pre-
ocupação de Deus em saciar a “fome” de vida dos homens.
De forma especial, as leituras deste domingo dizem-nos que
Deus conta connosco para repartir o seu “pão” com todos
aqueles que têm “fome” de amor, de liberdade, de justiça,
de paz, de esperança. Na primeira leitura, o profeta Eliseu,
ao partilhar o pão que lhe foi oferecido com as pessoas que
o rodeiam, testemunha a vontade de Deus em saciar a
“fome” do mundo; e sugere que Deus vem ao encontro dos
necessitados através dos gestos de partilha e de generosid-
ade para com os irmãos que os “profetas” são convidados a
realizar. O Evangelho repete o mesmo tema. Jesus, o Deus
que veio ao encontro dos homens, dá conta da “fome” da
multidão que O segue e propõe-Se libertá-la da sua situação
de miséria e necessidade. Aos discípulos (aqueles que vão
continuar até ao fim dos tempos a mesma missão que o Pai
lhe confiou), Jesus convida a despirem a lógica do egoísmo
e a assumirem uma lógica de partilha, concretizada no
serviço simples e humilde em benefício dos irmãos. É esta
lógica que permite passar da escravidão à liberdade; é esta
lógica que fará nascer um mundo novo. Na segunda leitura,
Paulo lembra aos crentes algumas exigências da vida cristã.
Recomenda-lhes, especialmente, a humildade, a mansidão e
a paciência: são atitudes que não se coadunam com esque-
mas de egoísmo, de orgulho, de auto-suficiência, de precon-
ceito em relação aos irmãos.

Antes de te haver formado no ventre materno, Eu ja te conhecia.
(Jeremias 1:5) Deus é o oleiro que quer formar da argila da nossa vida algo de bonito. Formed.org não é so um site da inter-net para nos ensinar ideias intelec-tuais ou doutrina Católica, mas um
instrumento que Deus quer usar para nos formar nas pessoas que fomos destinados a ser. Estou entusiasmado sobre esta organização com quem contratamos para estar disponível aos nossos paroquianos formação solida na nossa fé Católica. Espero que tiram um pouco de tempo para o visitar. Pe. John www.formed.orgcódigo para paroquianos: DQNKPN
PORQUE É QUE A SAGRADA
ESCRITURA ENSINA A VERDADE?
Porque o próprio Deus é o autor da
Sagrada Escritura: por isso ela é dita
inspirada e ensina sem erro aquelas
verdades que são necessárias para a nossa
salvação. Com efeito, o Espírito Santo
inspirou os autores humanos, os quais escreveram aquilo
que Ele nos quis ensinar. No entanto, a fé cristã não é «uma
religião do Livro», mas da Palavra de Deus, que não é «uma
palavra escrita e muda, mas o Verbo Encarnado e vivo»
(S. Bernardo de Claraval).
