Reflections ~ Reflexiones GGoossppeell:: JJoohhnn 1100::1111––1188

When Jesus wanted to describe himself, he did not compare himself to a magnificent king or a powerful ruler. He said, "I am the good shepherd." And the people of his time knew immediately that he was speaking of a humble caretaker of the flock that depended on him for survival. Some shepherds work only for pay and leave their sheep unprotected. By contrast, the good shepherd lays down his life to save his sheep. No one forces him to do so. He chooses to give his life for the sheep he knows by name and loves to the end. The Good Shepherd looks forward to the day when all people will "be one flock." They will recognize his voice and be gathered into his fold. 1.) In what ways do you see Jesus as the Good Shepherd? 2.) How are the followers of Jesus called to "shepherd" others who may be lost or afraid, weak or without guidance?

EEvvaannggeelliioo:: JJuuaann 1100::1111--1188 Cuando Jesús quiso describirse no se comparó con un magnífico rey o un poderoso gobernante. Él dijo: "Yo soy el buen pastor". Inmediatamente el pueblo de la época supo de lo que él estaba hablando, de un humilde cuidador de un rebaño que dependía de él para sobrevivir. Algunos pastores sólo trabajan por la paga y no cuidan de sus ovejas. El buen pastor da su vida para salvarlas. Nadie lo obliga a hacerlo. Él escoge dar su vida por las ovejas, las que conoce por su nombre y a quienes ama hasta el final. El buen pastor espera el día en que todo el mundo sea "un solo rebaño". Las ovejas reconocerán su voz y se reunirán bajo su amparo. 1.) ¿En qué formas ves a Jesús como el Buen Pastor? 2.) ¿Cómo pueden los seguidores de Jesús ser llamados "buen pastor" para los que están perdidos, los débiles, los que tienen miedo y los que necesitan consejos?

Treasures from our Traditions ~ Tradiciones de nuestra Fe There are few openings for “Shepherds” in the classified ads today, but few occupations are as dear to the Christian heart. Most of us tenderly place shepherds by our Christmas cribs, name the Twenty-third Psalm as our favorite, and recognize “Good Shepherd” as a title of Jesus. Bishops carry a staff, called a crozier, modeled after the shepherd’s walking staff. Long before Christian artists painted Jesus on the cross, they traced on the walls of their worship places images of a strong young shepherd, shouldering a lost sheep and bringing it to safety. Springtime is the season of lambing, a time when the shepherd not only learns the faces of the new arrivals, but also when the newborn sheep become attuned to the voice of the shepherd. This is exactly what we do as a community in Easter as we shelter and guide the newly received Christians, and also put our Lenten muscles to good use: listening more attentively to God’s Word, and responding with springtime vigor to God’s call. —Rev. James Field, CCooppyyrriigghhtt ©© JJ.. SS.. PPaalluucchh CCoo..

En el año 1674 una Argentina, Doña Ana Mattos de Siqueyras se llevó a su casa una imagen de la Virgen María para hacerle una capillita en sus terrenos a un lado del rió Luján. La imagen era de reputación milagrosa y Doña Ana deseaba tenerla cerquita de su hogar. Al día siguiente la imagen se había regresado a un eremitorio donde la cuidaba un esclavo africano llamado Manuel. Esto le pasó un par de veces hasta que se le ocurrió a Doña Ana llevarse en peregrinación a ambos María y Manuel. Desde entonces en una capilla abierta al público María se quedo sin ningún problema. Como muchos ricos, Doña Ana quería echarse a Dios en el bolsillo llevándose para si misma la imagen de María. Pero nuestra Señora de Luján tenia otro plan. Ella deseaba estar con el esclavo Manuel y con el pueblo. En fin, Doña Ana se fijó que a Dios y su madre no los controla nadie y nadie los puede hacer su propiedad, a lo contrario, ellos se entregan a los pobres y desamparados. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, CCooppyyrriigghhtt ©© JJ..

HHOOLLYY HHOOUURR FFOORR VVOOCCAATTIIOONNSS You are all welcome in joining Fr. Cameron Faller, Vocations Director for the Archdiocese of San Francisco in praying for an increase in vocations in a Holy Hour with the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament on Sunday, April 25th at 3:30pm.

RREESSPPOONNDDIINNGG TTOO TTHHEE CCAALLLL Do we truly know the voice of Christ? Do we truly respond to the voice of our shepherd with our own distinctive voice? How often we attempt to imitate those around us, appropriating the response of another member of the flock to Christ. Perhaps we need to balance the image of being sheep of one flock with the image from the second reading, which tells us that we are all children of God. What child has precisely the same interaction with parents as his or her siblings? Instead, they frequently do and say things to distinguish themselves in the eyes of their parents. Whether we use the image of children or of sheep to understand our relationship with Christ, we believe that we are all known and called by name. With this great gift comes a responsibility: to respond to the call with our own distinctive voice, to take time to discern exactly what our call is, to determine precisely what the will of the Father is for each of us.

FFEEAASSTT OOFF FFAAIITTHH The Gospel Reading

The climax of the Liturgy of the Word comes with the proclamation of the Gospel. Everything tells us that something important is happening. We stand. We sing special acclamations. Servers with candles and sometimes incense lead the deacon or priest to the ambo, where the reading is proclaimed from a special book. All of the readings are important, but the liturgy directs special attention to the Gospel for a reason. “[A]mong all the inspired writings, even among those of the New Testament, the Gospels have a special place, and rightly so, because they are our principal source for the life and teaching of the Incarnate Word, our Saviour” (Dei Verbum, the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation of the Second Vatican Council, 18). In the Gospels, the narrative of Christ’s saving life, death, and resurrection continues to be proclaimed in our midst. Our Sunday Lectionary is structured so as to allow us to hear as much of the Gospels as possible. The readings are arranged in a three-year cycle. In Year A, the Gospel readings are taken mainly from Matthew; in Year B, from Mark and John; and in Year C, from Luke. In this way, over the course of three years, we hear a substantial portion of all four Gospels. —Corinna Laughlin, CCooppyyrriigghhtt ©© JJ.. SS.. PPaalluucchh CCoo..

RREESSPPUUEESSTTAA AALL LLLLAAMMAADDOO

¿Realmente conocemos la voz de Cristo? ¿Respondemos realmente a la voz de nuestro pastor, con nuestra propia y distintiva voz? ¿Con qué frecuencia intentamos imitar a los que nos rodean, apropiándonos de la respuesta de otro miembro del rebaño de Cristo? Tal vez la necesidad de equilibrar la imagen de ser ovejas de un rebaño con la imagen de la segunda lectura, que nos dice que todos somos hijos de Dios. ¿Qué hijo tiene precisamente la misma interacción con los padres como sus hermanos? Por el contrario, con frecuencia hacen y dicen cosas que se distinguen en los ojos de sus padres. Ya sea que utilicemos la imagen de los niños o de las ovejas para entender nuestra relación con Cristo, creemos que todos somos conocidos y llamados por su nombre. Con este gran regalo viene la responsabilidad: responder a la llamada con la voz propia y distintiva, sacar un tiempo para discernir exactamente cuál es nuestro llamado, para determinar con precisión cuál es la voluntad del Padre para cada uno de nosotros.

FFIIEESSTTAA DDEE LLAA FFEE Segunda Lectura

Mientras que en la Misa Dominical la primera lectura siempre está relacionada con el Evangelio, la segunda lectura sigue su propio ritmo. Aun así, sin forzar la situación, parece obvia la vinculación o relación que ésta tiene con las demás lecturas. La segunda lectura está tomada de los escritos paulinos o de otros escritos apostólicos. La selección de las mismas durante los tiempos litúrgicos específicos es sumamente cuidadosa. A lo largo del Tiempo Ordinario, siguen su propio ritmo y gran parte de la relación de esta lectura con las demás, depende de la creatividad del homilista. Puesto que es una lectura diferente, se sugiere siempre un proclamador o proclamadora distinto a quien proclamó la primera lectura. La asamblea litúrgica es capaz en sí misma de captar que es un mensaje distinto, más no por eso, es ajeno a la centralidad del Evangelio. Durante el Ciclo Dominical A, la proclamación de la segunda lectura inicia con la 1 Corintios, Romanos, Filipenses y Tesalonicenses; El Ciclo Dominical B: 1 Corintios 6 – 11, 2 Corintios, Efesios, Santiago y Hebreos 2 – 10; el Ciclo Dominical C: 1 Corintios 12 – 15, Gálatas, Colosenses, Hebreos, Filemón, 1 Timoteo, 2 Timoteo y 2 Tesalonicenses. —Miguel Arias, CCooppyyrriigghhtt ©© JJ..
