16^th Sunday in Ordinary Time 21^st July: Focus: The Lord is our shepherd, guiding & protecting us, & providing for all things. – From the time of Creation the Lord has watched over us & guided us, judging our needs & our care for one another. When no one could shepherd us back to himself, he sent his Son to reconcile us to himself & free us from the bonds of sin. He sees who & where we are & knows what we need, providing for all things.
