Fourth Sunday of Easter April 17, 2016

“I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be an instrument of salvation

to the ends of the earth.” — Acts 13:47b

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The Jews angrily reject Paul and Barnabas’ preaching. They then turn their energies to the Gentiles (Acts 13:14, 43-52). Psalm — We are his people, the sheep of his flock (Psalm 100). Second Reading — John envisions a great white-robed multitude standing before the throne and before the Lamb. (Revelation 7:9, 14b-17). Gospel — My sheep hear my voice; they follow me. I give them eternal life (John 10:27-30). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from the Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved.

THE SHEPHERD’S FLOCK In Christian art, the earliest depictions of Jesus Christ were not of his crucifixion or of his resurrection. The first known renderings of Jesus show him as the Good Shepherd, the image put before us in today’s readings. In the Gospel passage Jesus reveals that he is the shepherd and his followers are his “flock.” In the first and second readings, we are told more about the flock. The passage from Acts assures us that both Jews and Gentiles are called to follow Jesus. It is faith, not birthright, that makes us part of the company of believers. In the passage from the book of Revelation we learn that the flock that follows this Lamb of God will also be washed in his blood. They will endure a time of trial before they enjoy eternal life. Be assured of the promise, we are told, but know there is a price to be paid. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Just as the early church consecrated women living alone in the world, today that consecration is available to women who take solemn vows as cloistered nuns (different from religious sisters), women who follow a way of life in communities called “secular institutes,” and laywomen. Oddly, the ritual is not permitted for religious sisters. The prayers talk about the woman’s self-gift to Christ, and her self-gift to the Church. Up until recent years, this was a solemn ceremony performed only for cloistered nuns under certain circumstanc-es. In its new form, we have a ritual that revives a very ancient and little-known way of life. Today, a woman can live independently at home, without association with any religious sisterhood or institute, yet be conse-crated to holiness and service. Normally, a ring and/or a veil may be given in the liturgy of consecration. It is a rite very different from religious profession, where the sister makes promises or vows, and is rather an ex-pression of approval and blessing for a way of life already embraced. Unlike ancient times, which valued ac-tual virginity, the new rite may be celebrated for anyone provided there has never been a marriage and the woman has always lived a virtuous life. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Tours of the Church and Chapel

The baptismal team prepares parents and god-parents in reflecting on what baptism means and preparing them for the liturgy. Baptism is a time to create a bond between the family and our community. It gives us the opportunity to help parents and godparents deepen their faith commitment to help the child grow in our Faith. We are currently in need of volunteers to wel-come parents/godparents, lead the Baptism preparation classes and help during the Baptis-mal ceremony.

What is the time Commitment? We meet once a month for classes and once a month for the celebration of the Sacrament of Baptism. If you are interested in becoming part of this Ministry, please call the front office at (760) 564-1255.

“Yo te he puesto como luz de los paganos,

para que lleves la salvación hasta los últimos rincones de la

tierra”. — Hechos 13:47b

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El 25 de abril la Iglesia conmemora a Pedro de Betancur (1626–1667). Original-mente de las Islas Canarias, a la edad de 24, se trasladó a Cuba. En 1651 llegó a Guatemala con la ambición de predicar a Cristo. Esto lo hizo, no como sacerdote ni religioso. El fue como laico, reconociendo su deber bautismal de evangelizar. En 1655 ingresó en la Orden Seglar Franciscana y como laico quiso poner en práctica la espiritualidad franciscana, ayudando a los pobres. Con su propio pan o casa el alimentaba al hambriento y amparaba al indigente. A todos recordaba la ne-cesidad de la salvación y en la simplicidad de su mensaje derretía el egoísmo de los ricos. Les abría el corazón enseñándoles a compartir con los más pequeños de sus hermanos y hermanas. Eventualmente su nobleza de espíritu atrajo a hombres y mujeres que deseaban compartir su apostolado y fundó la Orden Betlehemita. También fundó la primera escuela de niños en Centro América convirtiéndose en el alfabetizador de Guatema-la. Así dio ejemplo de lo que la Iglesia debe hacer por el pobre y marginado. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

EL REBAÑO DEL PASTOR En el arte cristiano, las primeras imágenes de Jesucristo no fueron de su crucifi-xión ni de su resurrección. Fueron de Jesús como el Buen Pastor, tal como nos lo presentan las lecturas de hoy. En el pasaje evangélico Jesús se nos revela como el pastor y sus seguidores son su “rebaño”. La primera y la segunda lecturas nos cuentan un poco más sobre el rebaño. El pasaje de los Hechos nos asegura que tanto los judíos como los gentiles están lla-mados a seguir a Jesús. Es la fe, no el derecho de cuna, lo que nos permite pertene-cer a la comunidad de creyentes. En el pasaje del libro del Apocalipsis, aprendemos que el rebaño que le sigue a este Cordero de Dios será también purificado en su sangre. Tendrán que sobrellevar un tiempo de prueba antes de gozar de la vida eter-na. Estén seguros de la promesa, nos avisa, pero sepan que hay un precio que pagar. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera Lectura — Los judíos rechazaron airados la predicación de Pablo y de Bernabé. Luego concentraron sus energías en los gentiles (Hch 13:14, 43-52).

Segunda lectura — Juan tiene la visión de una multitud en vestiduras blancas ante el trono y ante el Cordero (Apocalipsis 7:9, 14b-17). Evangelio — Mis ovejas conocen mi voz; ellas me siguen. Yo les doy vida eterna (Juan 10:27-30). Salmo responsorial: Leccionario I © 1976, Comisión Episcopal de Pastoral Litúrgica de la Conferencia del Episcopado Mexicano. Usado con permiso.
