16^th Sunday in Ordinary Time 17^th July: Focus: The Lord wants us to live unburdened, free to be close to his healing presence. – Much of modern-day life involves the busyness of everyday tasks. The Lord asks that we simply come to him & allow ourselves to be healed & made whole, to allow him to pour his grace into our hearts & lives. This requires us to pause & to go to him in silence & stillness.
