Reflexión Semanal
Weekly Reflection
Resting in the Shepherd’s embrace
Descansar en los brazos del Buen Pastor
Today is often called Good Shepherd Sunday. The
image of Jesus as the good shepherd is a cherished
one. We imagine ourselves as the lamb being lovingly
embraced in the arms of Jesus. In the gospel, Jesus
tells us that what we imagine is reality. Unlike the hired
man, “who works for pay and has no concern for the
sheep,” Jesus, the good shepherd, loves us, his sheep,
to the extent that he has laid down his life for us. Jesus reminds us that “when the wolf is coming he does
not run away.” He is steadfast and unwavering. This
quality of immovability draws us to the second image in
today’s readings, the cornerstone. Jesus is the foundation. He is the point from which we draw eternal life
through his death and resurrection. We have received
the title “children of God” because Jesus tells us that, “I
know mine and mine know me just as the Father
knows me and I know the Father.” We are his sheep
who recognize his voice and come to him when he
calls. We are his flock destined for an eternal life that
John references, “We
are God’s children
now; what we shall be
has not yet been revealed.” This is the
Easter promise that we
continue to celebrate
as we pray, “Look upon your flock, kind
Shepherd, and be
pleased to settle in
eternal pastures the
sheep you have redeemed by the Precious Blood of your
Son” (Prayer After
Communion).
Llamamos a este día, el Domingo del Buen Pastor. Es
muy querida la imagen de Jesús como el Buen Pastor. Imaginamos que somos la oveja que Jesús abraza
cariñosamente. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos presenta la verdadera imagen del Buen Pastor quien, a
diferencia de “un asalariado [que] no le importan las
ovejas”, Jesús, el Buen Pastor, nos ama tanto, a nosotros sus ovejas, que dio su vida por nosotros. Jesús
nos recuerda que cuando viene el lobo, El no huye. El
permanece firme e inquebrantable. Esta firmeza nos
lleva a la segunda imagen de las lecturas de hoy, la
piedra angular. Jesús es la fundación, el punto del cual
brota la vida eterna por medio de su muerte y resurrección. Hemos recibido el título de “hijos de Dios” porque
Jesús nos dice, “Yo conozco [mis ovejas] y [mis ovejas]
me conocen, igual que el Padre me conoce y yo conozco al Padre;” Somos sus ovejas, reconocemos su voz y
venimos a Él cuándo nos llama. Somos su rebaño,
destinados para la vida eterna como nos explica san
Juan, “Ahora somos hijos de
Dios y aun no se ha manifestado
lo
que
seremos.” Esta es la promesa
de la Pascua que celebrando y exclamamos en la Oración después de la Comunión al decir, “Señor Dios,
Padre amoroso: Te damos
gracias por el pan de sí mismo que nuestro Buen Pastor
nos ha dado en esta eucaristía. Que él sea la piedra angular, el fundamento, sobre
el que construyamos nuestras vidas y tu reino en la
tierra.” Amen.

Celebremos los 50 días de Pascua
Es la Pascua, el paso, la victoria del
Señor. Sabemos, por los Evangelios,

durante 40 días y luego ascendió a los
cielos. Pasados 10 días, los primeros
discípulos recibieron el Espíritu Santo. La Iglesia celebra
este acontecimiento con 50 días de fiesta, de canto, de
esperanza. Es el tiempo del "aleluya", del grito que invita
una y otra vez a alabar y dar gracias al Señor, "porque es
eterna su misericordia”. Feliz Pascua de Resurrección!

Kindred Hearts Ministries Presents: The Gift
of Listening – A Gift of Love
In a world full of technology, quick text replies and much
talk, we attend to what it means to foster listening skills in
effective communication. Real listening is more than
hearing; it is being present to the other in ways that communicate, “What you have to say is important to me because I respect you and you are important to me.” We
listen with mind, heart, soul and body! We will explore
various aspects of listening including how we listen to
God and how God listens to us. Please join Sister Regina Robbins on Wednesday, May 6, 7:00 – 8:30 PM at
Notre Dame Center, 1776 Hendrix Avenue, Thousand
Oaks, CA 91360. TO REGISTER: Please contact Sister
