MASS INTENTIONS A FUTURE UNKNOWN - Times past lead us toward a future unknown. By
our baptism and confirmation into the risen Jesus, our future is with the Good
Shepherd. We are God’s children. We know this, but we do not know exactly
what it means. “Now we see only in a foggy mirror.” We do know that “we
shall be like him because we shall see him as he really is.” We do know that only in Christ Jesus can we be saved. We know he sends the Holy Spirit to give
“I KNOW MY OWN
AND THEY KNOW ME” Each year we Catholics celebrate the
fourth Sunday of Easter as the Good Shep-
herd Sunday. Also this Sunday the Catholic
church invites us to pray for Vocations. Each
year on this Sunday we reflect on the image
of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, the shepherd
who leads, feeds, nurtures, comforts, cor-
rects, and protects his flock. “The sheep
hear His voice. He calls His own sheep by
name and leads them out. When He has
brought out all His own, He goes ahead of
them, and the sheep follow Him because
they know His voice.” (John 10:3-4). When
Jesus called the apostles to become His Dis-
ciples He called them by their names: Peter,
John etc…“ My sheep hear my voice. I know
them and they follow me... No one will
snatch them out of hand” (John 10:27-28).
After Jesus’ resurrection He appeared
to Mary Magdalene who recognized Christ’s
voice in the cemetery by the way he spoke
her name, “Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She
turned and said to him “Rabboni!” (which
means Teacher). (John 20:16) My brothers
and sisters, Jesus calls us by our name, the
name that we received at our baptism. He
calls some of us to married life, to single life,
or to the priesthood. If He is calling you to
be a priest do not be afraid to answer. He, the
Good Shepherd will lead you in this beauti-
ful sacrament.
On this special Sunday let us pray for
vocations to the priesthood and religious life,
and may the Lord increase His workers and
those who have had their vocation an-
swered. "The harvest is plentiful, but the
workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore, to send out workers into His har-
vest”. (Luke 10:2)
Fr. Josue Vargas
Memorial Masses These are special masses for individual re-
quests that can be booked through the Parish

LORD OF THE HARVEST
BLESS young people with the gift of
courage to respond to your call.
Open their hearts to great ideals, to great
things.
INSPIRE all of your disciples to mutual love
and giving—
for vocations blossom in the
good soil of faithful people.
INSTILL those in religious life, parish
ministries, and families with the confidence
and grace to invite others to embrace
the bold and noble path of a life
consecrated to you.
UNITE us to Jesus through
prayer and sacrament,
so that we may cooperate
with you in building your
reign of mercy
and truth, of justice and
peace. Amen.

petual Help This beloved Icon has continued to be a sign of

Sunday we celebrate the

excess of $100 million. More than

Questions for Reflection:
Were Paul and Barnabas instruments
of salvation?
Are you an instrument in any way? Is there any situation where “shaking
the dust off your feet in protest” and
moving on, might help you?
