Uncowed by the hostile reception of the local Jews, they convert the Gentiles. Note the echoing of Simeon in the phrase a light for the nations, drawn from Isaiah 49:6. Second Reading: Revelation 5: John s vision continues, and now he hears of the promise of salvation. The elect of God stand in his presence and praise, with palm branches that represent victory. Representatives of all people are present. The promises of the freedom that comes in the presence of God are inspiring. Gospel: John 21: 1-19 The metaphor in chapter 10 is that of the Good Shepherd, which contrasts the poor shepherding provided by authorities just prior to this passage in the story of the man born blind. Here, Jesus makes promises to those who hear [his] voice, in contrast with those who have ears but do not hear. He is God s incarnate word, and therefore one with the Father. The I am language is consistent with the themes of preceding chapters.

6 Liturgy Corner Mary at Mass Devotion to Mary remains a hallmark of the Catholic faith. Some people unfamiliar with our religion assume that prayer to Mary forms the backbone of the Mass. Wrong! Prayer to Mary is certainly the backbone of the rosary, but there isn t a single prayer addressed to Mary in the entire Mass, front to back, on any day of the liturgical year. When it comes to prayer, we acknowledge Hebrews 7:25, which says Christ lives for ever to make intercession for us. So we direct our prayers to God through Christ. However, because of Mary s central role in salvation history, she makes several appearances in the texts at every Mass, every day of the liturgical year. Most important, Mary s name is pronounced right in the heart of Mass in the eucharistic prayer. She is called by two titles made mystic by their juxtaposition: virgin and mother. In the second eucharistic prayer for children, she is also called Mother of God and our mother. Mary also appears in the Creed, as the virgin who conceived the Word made flesh. At times we celebrate a Mass in her honor, under a title like Mary, Mother of the Church, or to commemorate an event in her life, like the Visitation. A preface often prayed on these days echoes her song of praise, the Magnificat. But most frequently she is remembered as the Virgin Mother. By connecting these two titles of Mary, the church invites us to reflect on her son. Mary s special role as the Virgin Mother reminds us that the miraculous birth of Jesus introduced the world to an extraordinary child whose miracles would never cease. At first, the title Mother of God sounds wrong. God is the uncreated creator of all. How could God have a mother? That puzzling question draws us into a deeper meditation on the identity of Jesus. Because Jesus is both fully God and fully human, Mary must be called Mother of God. In the liturgy Mary s role always bows to her son. She gives birth to him not only in time but in the liturgy and in our hearts. During the month of May, many will address devotions to Mary, and rightly so. But she will direct them to Christ. Paul Turner Copyright 2012 Resource Publications, Inc. And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. Genesis 4:8 Reflectio n ~ The first murder in history was within the immediate family, brother killing brother. One of the reasons abortion and euthanasia are preeminent issues today is that those forms of killing likewise take place by one family member upon another. The family is the sanctuary of life. It should be the safest place. Prayer ~ Lord, have mercy on the families of our world. Fill them with the spirit of welcome and love, of nurture and protection.
