You need to select the Import function in LR (File, Import photos videos), find the folder that's holding your images and select ADD on the assumption that the images are already in the correct folder on your mac.

Lightroom opens catalog files (*.lrcat) not image files. The catalog contains information about images on your disk drive The LR import function is the first step to make the LR catalog aware of the images and their location. If you insert a camera card, LR should open the import dialog and you can then select a destination on your disk drive to copy these from the camera card.
