THE SHEPHERD’S FLOCK In Christian art, the earliest depictions of Jesus Christ were not of his crucifixion or of his resurrection. The first known renderings of Jesus show him as the Good Shepherd, the image put before us in today’s readings. In the Gospel passage Jesus reveals that he is the shepherd and his followers are his “flock.” In the first and second readings, we are told more about the flock. The passage from Acts assures us that both Jews and Gentiles are called to follow Jesus. It is faith, not birthright, that makes us part of the company of believers. In the passage from the book of Revela-tion we learn that the flock that follows this Lamb of God will also be washed in his blood. They will endure a time of trial before they enjoy eternal life. Be assured of the promise, we are told, but know there is a price to be paid. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co

ST. JOSEPH AND ST. PATRICK CELEBRATED. On March 19, the Feast Days of St. Joseph and St. Patrick were celebrated in Rogers Hall. The atmosphere was very festive and enjoyed by all. It featured a delicious Spaghetti and Meat Ball dinner and fine Irish dancers. St. Vincent would like to thank first the Parish Council Members for their sponsorship and work, and the Irish dancers who entertained us, all the parish bakers; including the 7th grade CCD Class, and all the wonderful parishioners and guests who attended to make it fun. The proceeds will go to the St. Vincent de Paul Society who will use these funds for the needy of our parish and area.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Just as the early church consecrated women living alone in the world, today that consecration is available to women who take solemn vows as cloistered nuns (different from religious sisters), women who follow a way of life in commu-nities called “secular institutes,” and laywomen. Oddly, the ritual is not permitted for religious sisters. The prayers talk about the woman’s self-gift to Christ, and her self-gift to the Church. Up until recent years, this was a solemn ceremony performed only for cloistered nuns under certain circum-stances. In its new form, we have a ritual that revives a very ancient and little-known way of life. Today, a woman can live independently at home, without association with any religious sisterhood or institute, yet be consecrated to holi-ness and service. Normally, a ring and/or a veil may be given in the liturgy of consecration. It is a rite very different from religious profession, where the sister makes promises or vows, and is rather an expression of approval and blessing for a way of life already embraced. Unlike ancient times, which valued actual virginity, the new rite may be cele-brated for anyone provided there has never been a marriage and the woman has always lived a virtuous life. —Rev.

CZY DAJĘ SIĘ PROWADZIĆ JEZUSOWI? W Niedzielę Dobrego Pasterza prosimy Pana o dwie rzeczy – o łaskę nowych powołań, kapłańskich i zakonnych, oraz o to, aby powołani byli pasterzami według Serca Dobrego Pasterza. Stawiamy też dwa pytania. Czy słuchamy głosu Boga i idziemy za Nim? Czy słuchamy tych, którzy uobecniają Boga tu na ziemi? Pan pragnie zbawić każdego człowieka. Pouczył nas o tym Jezus Chrystus, kiedy polecił swym uczniom, aby szli na krańce świata i głosili Ewangelię wszelkiemu stworzeniu (por. Mk 16,15). W szczególny sposób nakaz ten realizował św. Paweł, do którego Chrystus powiedział: „Ustanowiłem cię światłością dla pogan, abyś był zbawieniem aż po krańce ziemi” (I czytanie). Apostoł Narodów pełnił swe posłannictwo najpierw wśród Żydów, głosząc im słowo Boże i zachęcając do wytrwania w łasce Boga, a następnie wśród pogan. Dzięki posłudze św. Pawła, doskonałego naśladowcy Chrystusa, Dobrego Pasterza, ci, którzy otworzyli się na słowo

Boże i łaskę Boga, przyodziewali się w białe szaty, stając się ludem Pana i Jego owczarnią (II czytanie). Jezus Chrystus, Dobry Pasterz, chce, aby Jego „owce” szły za Nim i słuchały Jego głosu. Pragnie, aby pełniły Jego wolę, naśladowały Go i upodabniały się do Niego. Jezus chce, abyśmy posiedli życie wieczne i nie zginęli na wieki (Ewangelia). Dlatego posyła nam głosicieli Bożej prawdy i szafarzy Bożej łaski. Prośmy Pana, aby dał nam pasterzy, którzy, podobnie jak św. Paweł, będą mieli serca według Serca Dobrego Pasterza. Aby nigdzie nie brakowało tych, którzy będą służyć Jego owcom, w Jego owczarni. ks. W. Seremak –
