MISSION STATEMENT

May 7 2017May 7 2017Fourth Sunday of EasterFourth Sunday of Easter

The Gospel is from St. John 10:1 10. We have Christ as our shepherd He tells us so himself in today's gospel and we do not resent being called sheep in this context. There is something guileless about a sheep, and at the same time a lot of foolishness! But with Christ as our shep-herd and the "good shepherd" who is sincerely interested in the true welfare of His flock we have reason to rejoice.

The leaders of the Jews, the Pharisees and Sadducees, were false shepherds who tried to prevent the people from following Jesus, but they failed. They then killed the shepherd but in vain. He rose from the dead and His flock in-creased by the thousands and will keep in-creasing until time ends.

We surely are fortunate to belong to the sheep-fold of Christ His Church. We surely are blessed to have the Son of God as our Shep-herd, who came among us in order to lead us to heaven. Do we fully appreciate our privileged position? Do we always live up to our heavenly vocation? We know His voice, we know what He asks of us, but do we always listen to that voice, do we always do what He asks of us?

We need to think often of our purpose and our end in life. We have a few short years, but short though they be, we can earn for ourselves an eternity of happiness during this life. Let the straying sheep boast of their false freedom and of the passing joys they may get in this lifethis freedom and these joys are mixed with much sorrow, and will end very soon. We know that if we follow the shepherd of our souls, we are on the way to the true life, the perfect life, the unending life which will have no admixture of sorrow, regret or pain. Where Christ is, there perfect happiness is, and there with God's grace we hope and trust to be.

El Evangelio de San Juan 10: 1 10. Nosotros tenemos a Cristo como nuestro pastor Él nos lo dice el mismo en el evangelio de hoy y a nosotros no nos molesta el ser llamados ovejas por esto. Hay algo candido acerca de las ovejas, y al mis-mo tiempo mucho de necedad! Pero con Cristo como nuestro pastor y como el “buen pastor” quien esta sinceramente interesado en el verdadadero bien de Su rebano, por eso tenemos razones para regocijarnos.

Los líderes de los Judios, los Fariseos y los Sa-duceos, eran falsos pastores, ellos trataron de evitar que le pueblo siguiera a Jesús, pero fallaron. Entonces ellos mataron al pastor pero en vano fué. El resucito de entre los muertos y Su

hasta el fin de los tiempos.

Nosotros somos muy afortunados de ser escogi-dos como el redil de Cristo Su iglesia. Nosotros seguramente somos bendecidos por tener el Hijo de Dios como nuestro Pastor, quien vino entre nosotros para llevarnos al cielo. ¿ Apreciamos produndamente a nuestro estado privilegiado? ¿ Vivimos siempre como es el llamado celestial? Si reconocemos su voz, y si sabemos lo que nos pide a cada uno. ¿ Entonces siempre oimos al llamado de su voz, siempre hacemos la que Él desea de nosotros?

en el final de nuestra vida. Tenemos muy pocos

felicidad eterna. Dejemos que la extraviada oveja haga alarde de su falsa libertad y de sus alegrias pasajeros de esta vida esta libertad y estas alegrias estan mezcladas con mucho pesar y ter-minan pronto. Nosotros sabemos que si se-guimos al pastor de nuestras almas, estaremos en el camino a la vida verdadera, la vida perfecta,

esta la perfecta felicidad, y alli con la gracia de Dios esperamos y confiamos estar.

Be a Vocation Missionary!In Pope Francis’ personal message in his letter for 2017 World Day of Prayer for Vocations, says that we are called to be a missionary, to share the Gospel of Jesus with the world.

Pope Francis explains that to be a missionary disciple means sharing actively in the mission of Christ, includ-ing praying for vocations. Pope Francis wrote “I ask par-ish communities, associations, and the many prayer groups present in the Church, not to yield to discour-agement but to continue praying that the Lord will send workers to his harvest. May he give us priests enam-oured of the Gospel, close to all their brothers and sis-ters, living signs of God’s merciful love.”
