Pastor

Dear Friends,

The Fourth Sunday after Easter is known as “Good Shepherd Sunday” because the gospel reading is

always taken from one of Jesus’ teachings about being a loving and caring shepherd. In today’s

passage Jesus emphasizes his willingness to lay down his life for his sheep, to sacrifice himself in

order to protect his sheep and to ensure their well-being. Such heroic words anticipate his coming

death and resurrection and his willingness to do that for all, including some who are not yet part of

his flock. Even though shepherding is not a familiar career for most of us, the image and solicitude

for the sheep do not need a lot of interpretation. Religious artists down through the centuries have

translated them into familiar and inspirational paintings, mosaics and sculptures.

“Pastor” is the Latin (and Spanish) word for shepherd and so all the connotations of good shepherd-

ing are expressed in the word “pastoral”. We have “Pastoral Councils” in parishes, “Pastoral Care”

departments in hospitals, “Pastoral Leadership” programs for laity and clergy, and “Pastoral Migrato-

ria” programs for immigrants and refugees. Oh yes, we have “pastors” and “associate pastors” in

parishes too. Qualities of care and service are implied in those words, even if the roles also require

ministerial and other administrative skills as well. It is no surprise that one focus on this Sunday after

Easter has always been vocations, calling and inviting young people to consider possible vocations

to priesthood, the diaconate or vowed religious life. It is a well-known fact that our Church needs

many more people to step forward to embrace those vocations and to dedicate their talents and en-

ergy to the service of God’s people. But the word “vocation” applies to other calls as well and

“shepherding” is a role exercised by parents, teachers, nurses, doctors, counselors, therapists, public

officials, firefighters, police officers, social workers, and those who dedicate themselves to the care

and service of others. Our family life and our society could not function without “good shepherds” of

many kinds.

When I was eighteen years old I left home to explore a possible vocation with the Viatorians as a

priest and a high school teacher. I was pretty sure that I did not want to be a parish pastor and so I

did not choose the diocesan priesthood. Funny how things change, isn’t it? I wonder how many

young people choose their marriage partners for certain reasons and then find themselves loving

their spouse for a whole different set of reasons years later. “Shepherding” each other (and future

families) was probably not high on the original list of criteria. People called to the single life often

make some of the best “shepherds” because their energies are more outwardly focused and grand-

parents usually find “shepherding” to be a joyful second career. Wherever you are in your life this

Sunday, think about the qualities you look for in a “good” shepherd - and pray for those virtues in

yourself.

Queridos Amigos,

El cuarto domingo después de Pascua es conocido como el "Domingo del Buen Pastor" porque la

lectura del Evangelio siempre se toma de una de las enseñanzas de Jesús sobre como ser un pas-

tor amoroso y afectuoso. En el pasaje de hoy, Jesús enfatiza su disposición a dar su vida por sus

ovejas, a sacrificarse para proteger a sus ovejas y para asegurar su bienestar. Tales palabras heroi-

cas anticipan su próxima muerte y resurrección y su voluntad de hacer eso por todos, incluso por

algunos que aún no son parte de su rebaño. A pesar de que el pastoreo no es una carrera familiar

para la mayoría de nosotros, la imagen y el cuidado que las ovejas no necesitan mucha interpreta-

ción. Los artistas religiosos a través de los siglos las han traducido en pinturas, mosaicos y escultu-

ras familiares e inspiradoras.

"Pastor" es la palabra latina (y española) para pastor y todas las connotaciones de buen pastoreo se

expresan en la palabra "pastoral". Tenemos "Concilios Pastorales" en parroquias, departamentos de

"Cuidado Pastoral" en hospitales, programas de "Liderazgo Pastoral" para laicos y clérigos, y pro-

gramas como "Pastoral Migratoria" para inmigrantes y refugiados. Oh sí, también tenemos

"pastores" y "pastores asociados" en las parroquias. Las cualidades de cuidado y servicio están

implícitas en esas palabras, incluso si los roles también requieren habilidades ministeriales y otras

habilidades administrativas. No es sorprendente que uno de los temas vistos en este cuarto domin-

go de la Pascua siempre haya sido las vocaciones, llamando e invitando a los jóvenes a considerar

las posibles vocaciones al sacerdocio, el diaconado o la vida religiosa consagrada. Es un hecho bien

conocido que nuestra Iglesia necesita muchas más personas que den un paso adelante para abra-

zar esas vocaciones y dedicar sus talentos y energía al servicio del pueblo de Dios. Pero la palabra

"vocación" también se aplica a otras llamadas y "pastoreo" es un rol ejercido por padres, maestros,

enfermeras, médicos, consejeros, terapeutas, funcionarios públicos, bomberos, policías, trabajado-

res sociales y aquellos que se dedican al cuidado y servicio de los demás. Nuestra vida familiar y

nuestra sociedad no podrían funcionar sin "buenos pastores" de muchos tipos.

Cuando tenía dieciocho años dejé mi casa para explorar una posible vocación con los Viatorianos

como sacerdote y maestro de escuela secundaria. Estaba bastante seguro de que no quería ser

párroco y por eso no elegí el sacerdocio diocesano. Es curioso cómo cambian las cosas, ¿no? Me

pregunto cuántos jóvenes eligen a sus parejas de matrimonio por ciertas razones y luego se encuen-

tran amando a su cónyuge por un conjunto de razones diferentes años después. "Pastorear" unos a

otros (y las futuras familias) probablemente no estaba en la lista original de criterios. Las personas

llamadas a la vida solitaria a menudo hacen algunos de los mejores "pastores" porque sus energías

están más centradas en el exterior y los abuelos generalmente encuentran que el "pastoreo" es una

placentera segunda profesión. Estés donde estés en tu vida este domingo, piensa en las cualidades

que buscas en un "buen" pastor, y reza por esas virtudes en ti.

“I am the good shepherd...and I lay down my life for the sheep…and they will heed my voice.”

~JOHN 10:14-16

When you pray, do you only ask Jesus for the things that you want? Do you ever ask Him what He wants !om you? How do you listen for His response? Usually, the answer is in “quiet whispers”, so take time ever" day, in silence, to actively listen for His response.
