3 PASTOR S MESSAGE 3 3 Dear Brothers and Sisters Today is Good Shepherd Sunday. The Church meditates on these words of the Lord: I am the Good Shepherd. Also, today is the world day of prayer for vocations, the purpose of which is to publically fulfill the Lord's instruction to, "Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into His harvest". Thus, we are to intensify our prayers and efforts in direction to this concern of the Good Shepherd. We cannot remain indifferent, or unaware of the great need the Church has of many and holy priests and religious. Not in vain has He said to His disciples, The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, we must seriously examine our life and ask ourselves: what am I doing to cooperate with the increase of laborers for the Lord s harvest? Do I ever fall on my knees or let the Rosary beads pass through my fingers with this divine intention in my heart? Moreover, let us pray that the laborers may have a heart like the heart of the Good Shepherd. The duty of a good shepherd, says Saint Thomas Aquinas, is charity; therefore Christ said: The good shepherd gives his life for his sheep. Now, one of the obstacles in relation to the shortage of vocations in our times, is the lack of charity, lack of willingness to give one s own life for others. This is what a priest or religious does. While he could have chosen a life for himself, he chooses instead a life for others. It is true, however, as Saint Thomas says, that we are to know the difference between a good and a bad shepherd: the good shepherd cares for the welfare of his flock, but the bad shepherd cares only for his own welfare. The Good Shepherd does not demand that shepherds lay down their lives for a real flock of sheep. But every spiritual shepherd must endure the loss of his bodily life for the salvation of the flock, since the spiritual good of the flock is more important than the bodily life of the shepherd, when danger threatens the salvation of the flock. This is why the Lord says: The good shepherd lays down his life, that is, his physical life, for his sheep; this he does because of his authority and love. Both, in fact, are required: that they should be ruled by him, and that he should love them. The first without the second is not enough. Christ stands out for us as the example of this teaching: If Christ laid down his life for us, so we also ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. Specially those who are called to work at the harvest of the Lord. God bless you all Fr. Javier Ibarra IVE Buela Youth Orchestra and Minor Seminary Events Please join us Saturday April 28, 2:30-3:30 pm to hear The Buela Youth Orchestra and The Minor Seminary students perform a string, piano, and organ recital, in the Church.

Khi ấy, Chúa Giêsu phán: "Ta là mục tử tốt lành. Mục tử tốt lành thí mạng sống vì chiên. Kẻ làm thuê không phải là chủ chiên, và các chiên không phải là của người ấy, nên khi thấy sói đến, nó bỏ chiên mà trốn. Sói sẽ bắt chiên và làm chúng tản mát. Kẻ chăn thuê chạy trốn, vì là đứa chăn thuê, và chẳng tha thiết gì đến đàn chiên. Ta là mục tử tốt lành, Ta biết các chiên Ta, và các chiên Ta biết Ta. Cũng như Cha biết Ta và Ta biết Cha, và Ta thí mạng sống vì đàn chiên. Ta còn những chiên khác không thuộc đàn này; cả những chiên đó Ta cũng phải mang về đàn; chúng sẽ nghe tiếng Ta. Và sẽ chỉ có một đàn chiên và một chủ chiên. Vì lẽ này mà Cha yêu mến Ta, là Ta thí mạng sống để rồi lấy lại. Không ai cất mạng sống khỏi Ta, nhưng tự Ta, Ta thí mạng sống. Ta có quyền thí mạng sống và cũng có quyền lấy lại. Đó là mệnh lệnh Ta đã nhận nơi Cha Ta". Đó là lời Chúa.

7 4to Domingo de Pascua 22 de Abril de 2018 Miércoles 25 de Abril Hay clases de catecismo Regalo de Pascua En la entrada de la Iglesia van a encontrar copias del libro Bella Esperanza que ustedes pueden tomar gratis. LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA SALVADOS POR AQUEL QUE FUE RECHAZADO Algunos adolescentes de la ciudad suelen menospreciar y rechazar a los chicos del campo. Sin embargo, no sería una exageración decir que la humanidad les debe la vida a los agricultores que cuidan los cultivos y el ganado por todo el mundo. La Sagrada Escritura para esta semana nos recuerda que Jesús fue rechazado como pastor, como chico del campo, sin embargo, a él le debemos la vida. En la lectura de los Hechos de los Apóstoles de este domingo, Pedro les dice a las personas que la salvación viene por Jesucristo, que fue rechazado y crucificado. En la carta del apóstol san Juan escuchamos que nos hemos convertido en los hijos amados de Dios por Jesús, a quien el mundo no conoció. Por último, en el Evangelio Jesús se describe como el buen Pastor: yo doy la vida por las ovejas (Juan 10:11). Te unirás a Jesús para dar tu vida por el rebaño amado de Dios? Copyright J. S.
