A message from Fr. Tony
Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony
THE GOOD SHEPHERD
EL BUEN PASTOR
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.
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.

Good Shepherd CollecƟon 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.
Fourth Sunday of Easter
April 26, 2015
See what love
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.
—Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
the Father has bestowed on us
that we may be called the children of God.
