Homily for the 16th week of Ordinary Time. Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promise in the Old Testament to Himself Shepherd his people. Jesus founded a Church that is authentic and He has given it authority. But He has also given us the Holy Spirit, and written His law in our hearts. We have both a personal and a communal relationship with Jesus, and He uses both to Guide us. But we must follow. How? Give Him permission, then take time to listen.
