3 A message from Fr. Tony THE GOOD SHEPHERD This Fourth Sunday of Easter is traditionally referred to as Good Shepherd Sunday. Today we listen to the words of the Lord as he refers to himself as the good shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep. It is sometimes so difficult for us to grasp the reality that anyone would lay down his or her own life for the sake of someone else. This is especially true in a society that places high value on power and personal advancement, often at the cost of trampling on other people in order to climb the ladder. Today s scriptures point to the one we are called to emulate the one who lays down his life for his sheep. Today s scriptures challenge us to discover ways to bring life to those around us to build up rather than to tear down. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony EL BUEN PASTOR El Cuarto Domingo de Pascua tradicionalmente se conoce como el Domingo del Buen Pastor. Hoy escuchamos las palabras del Señor cuando se llama a sí mismo el buen pastor que da la vida por sus ovejas. A veces es tan difícil para nosotros comprender la realidad de que alguien esté dispuesto a dar su vida por alguien. Esto es muy cierto en una sociedad que pone tanto énfasis en el poder y en el avance social, con frecuencia a expensas de pisotear a otra gente para escalar a la cima. Las Escrituras de hoy nos muestran a quién debemos imitar al que da su vida por las ovejas. Las Escrituras de hoy nos retan a descubrir la manera de llevar vida a los que están a nuestro alrededor a construir y no a destruir. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

6 Good Shepherd Collec on April 25th & 26th The 2nd Collec on at all Masses April 25th & 26th is designated for Assump on Seminary. Pope Francis compares a voca on to a treasure hidden in a field that Jesus places from the beginning in the heart of a man called to follow him in a special state in life. It needs to be discovered and brought to light. This gi is not for himself. The whole Church is the guardian of this treasure des ned for God s service. Next month three Assump on men will be ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese. Your support and prayers are deeply appreciated. Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your tes mony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit. Pope Francis TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Many of our customs surrounding cri cal illness come from an quity, and yet a tudes have certainly changed. Death was an all too-familiar presence then, and people tended to see it as a natural and unavoidable part of life, not a personal catastrophe. People tried to review their lives, se le their affairs, say farewell to their dear ones, and welcome the deathbed vigils and prayers that assured them of God s love and forgiveness. What people most feared was sudden death. It was dreaded and never discussed. The faithful filled the catacombs with consoling images of the good shepherd carrying the sheep to safe pasture, or the faithful in glory seated at banquet tables. The prayer texts from the me are consoling and posi ve, and many inspired our modern prayers. The care of the dying flowed directly from Roman pagan prac ce; it was home based and family centered. Pagans didn t especially fear death, but they were terrified by the dead. Chris ans, on the other hand, consoled their sick with psalms of joy and faith in the Resurrec on. The goal was to assure the sick person of God s love, and that the es that bind the dead and the living would endure. Fourth Sunday of Easter April 26, 2015 See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. 1 John 3:1 Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
