Stewards of God’s Gifts

“The one who confers benefits will be amply enriched, and the one who re-freshes others will personally be re-freshed.” (Proverbs 11:25)

“El alma bondadosa será saciada; el que riega será regado.”

(Proverbios 11:25)

FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER In the first reading, we hear Peter preaching about Jesus again. He uses the line from Psalm 118— “The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone”—to describe Jesus. This becomes the refrain for the psalm. We then hear from John in the second reading and the Gospel, comforting us with the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd and us as the children of God. Let us consider the richness of these images as we listen to them today.

CUARTO DOMINGO DE PASCUA

En la primera lectura escuchamos a Pedro predicar de nuevo acerca de Jesús y usa la frase del salmo 117 (“La piedra que desecharon los constructores es ahora la pie-dra angular”), que es la respuesta al salmo responsorial, para describir a Jesús. Lue-go escuchamos a Juan en la segunda lectura y en el Evangelio, que nos consuela con la imagen de Jesús, el Buen Pastor, y también una imagen nuestra como hijos e hijas de Dios. Consideremos la riqueza que hay en esas imágenes al escuchar las lecturas de hoy.

LAS ENSEÑANZAS BÁSICAS DE LA FE CATÓLICA
