Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B)

St. Mark 6.30-34: "...as he stepped ashore he saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he set himself to teach them at some length".

"The Lord is my shepherd there is nothing that I lack, fresh and green are the pastures where he bids me rest. Near restful waters he leads me to renew my dropping spirits, he restores my soul" (Psalm 23).
