“Behold, I am the hand-maid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word!” (Luke 1:38)

T his is Good Shepherd Sunday. Today, the Church calls us to

reflect on the meaning of God's call and to pray for vocations, reminding us that the entire Christian community shares the responsibility for fostering vocations. Both the Old and New Testaments use the image of a shepherd and his flock to describe the unique relation of Israel to God and the Christians to Christ. The first reading is taken from St. Peter’s first sermon on Pentecost. Here, he exhorts his listeners who were Jewish people gathered for the harvest feast, to know beyond any doubt that the one they allowed to be crucified is the true shepherd, the Lord and Messiah. Peter then proclaims that the proper response to the good news about Jesus is to repent and be baptized “in the name of Jesus Christ” thus becoming members of the Good Shepherd’s flock. Through the Sacrament of Baptism, they would receive the forgiveness of sins. The responsorial psalm (Psalm 23) introduces Yahweh as the Good Shepherd of Israel and describes all of the things the Lord does for us, His sheep, providing for our needs. The second reading continues the "shepherd” imagery. Peter encourages the suffering Christians to follow in their shepherd’s (“suffering servant”) footsteps and remember that they have been claimed by Him. Peter also explains how Jesus, the innocent sufferer, was a model of patience and trust in God, and that his suffering has enabled us to become more fully children of God. In today’s Gospel: two brief parables about sheep reveal Jesus as our unique means to salvation ("sheep gate") and as a selfless, caring “shepherd” who provides protection and life itself. Besides guiding his flock to eternal life as a good shepherd, Jesus is himself the gateway to eternal life.

Message for life 1) Be good shepherds and good

leaders: Everyone who is entrusted with the care of others is a shepherd. Hence pastors, parents, teachers, doctors, nurses, government officials, etc. are all shepherds. We become good shepherds by loving those entrusted to us, praying for them, spending our time, talents and blessings for their welfare, and guarding them from physical and spiritual dangers. Parents must be especially careful of their duties by giving good example to their children. Above all, parents should pray for their children and infuse into them sound Christian moral principles.

2)Be good sheep in the fold of Jesus, the Good Shepherd: St. Joseph the Worker parish is our sheepfold, and our pastors are our shepherds. Jesus is the High Priest, the bishops are the successors of the apostles, the pastors are their helpers and the parishioners are the sheep. Hence, as the good sheep of the parish, parishioners are expected to a) Hear and follow the voice of their shepherds through their homilies, Bible classes, counseling and advice. b) Receive the spiritual food given by our pastors by regular participation in the Holy Mass, by frequenting the sacraments, by prayer services, renewal programs and missions. c) Cooperate with our pastors by giving them positive suggestions for the welfare of the parish, by encouraging them in their duties, by lovingly correcting them with constructive criticism when they are found failing in their duties and by praying for them. On this World Day of Prayer for Religious Vocations, begin to pray for your priests instead of criticizing them. d) Actively participate in the activities of various councils, ministries and

We Are All Called to be Shepherds

parish associations.

3)Pray for good pastors and vocations. The Church uses this Sunday to encourage vocations, especially to the priesthood. Christians must share in the responsibility of fostering vocations to priesthood and religious life. The faith community must continuously pray for vocations both in the church and in their families. Since good priests and the religious come from good Christian families, all Christian parents must live their faith in Christ on a daily basis by their exemplary lives as parents and by their good relationship with their children. Parents must respect and encourage their children if any of them shows an interest towards becoming a priest, religious brother or sister. Parents must also encourage their teenagers and young adults to actively participate in the many ministries in the parish, such as Religious Education, youth associations, altar servers, gift bearers, lectors, choir and ministers of care.

Let us bear this important point in mind: our priests will be what our Christian community is. If we strive to be the flock that Christ wants us to be, the Lord will bless us with good shepherds. Let us all, shepherds and sheep, faithfully follow Christ on our way to heaven, the sheep-fold where we shall feel happy and secure for good.

Fr. Francis Xavier, SVD

Z Biurka Ojca Jerzego

Dobry Pasterz D ziało się to w Związku Radzieckim, w czasach wszechwładnie panującego

komunizmu. Religia była zakazana, a ludzie wierzący prześladowani. Kościoły zamieniano na magazyny i sale koncertowe, a księży zsyłano w miejsca odosobnienia. W małej wiosce, gdzieś w głębi kraju, co niedziela w jednym z prywatnych domów zbierała się grupa ludzi. To ci, którzy przyznawali się jeszcze do chrześcijaństwa. Gdy wybiła godzina 8.00, jeden z zebranych wstawał i rozpoczynał wspólną modlitwę: „W imię Ojca i Syna i Ducha św.” Potem następowały wszystkie modlitwy przewidziane w formularzu mszy świętej: czytania, modlitwa wiernych, prefacja. W chwili, kiedy miało nastąpić przeistoczenie zapadała głęboka cisza. Gdzieś w kącie można było usłyszeć cichy płacz. Zabrakło kapłana, który mógłby wypowiedzieć słowa: „To jest Ciało Moje, to jest Krew Moja”. Tak bardzo wierni odczuwali brak pasterza. My mamy to szczęście, aby nie tylko w niedzielę ale o wiele częściej uczestniczyć we mszy świętej. Mamy to szczęście, aby ciągle być przy boku najlepszego Pasterz Jezusa Chrystus, który w mocy Ducha Świętego prowadzi nas do domu Ojca. Jakim pasterzem jest Jezus? Pierwsza cecha to dobroć: „Ja jestem dobrym Pasterzem” (J 10,14). Jego dobroć ma swoje źródło w nieskończonej miłości. Jako dobry Pasterz kocha tych, którzy zostali Mu powierzeni. Kocha nie dla pieniędzy, sławy czy jakiejkolwiek korzyści, kocha bezinteresownie i całkowicie, aż po ofiarę z życia. Po drugie Jezus jest Pasterzem, który zabiega o pomnożenie swej owczarni, nie godzi się z tym, że inni są pozbawieni Jego opieki: „Mam także inne owce, które nie są z tej owczarni. I te muszę przyprowadzić.” (J 10,16). Wreszcie Jezus troszczy się o jedność swych wiernych: „i nastanie jedna owczarnia i jeden pasterz” (J 10,16). Gwarantem jedności są słowa Jezusa i posłuszeństwo Jego wskazaniom, dlatego zostawia uczniom swe słowa i nakazuje, by wprowadzali je w życie: „będą słuchać głosu mego” (J 10,16). Warto dostrzec w dzisiejszym obrazie dobrego Pasterza postawę poświęcenia, służby, oddania życia. My też powinniśmy oddawać swe życie dla innych. Jak matka, która oddaje życie dla swoich dzieci, pielęgnując je, wstając o każdej porze nocy, by je uspokoić, nakarmić. Powinniśmy oddawać swe życie dla innych jak ojciec, który ciężko pracuje, by jego rodzina miała co jeść. Chrystus uczy nas oddawać swe życie, poświęcić je dla dobra innych ludzi. Często szczególnym wyrazem takiej postawy jest sakrament kapłaństwa. Warto pamiętać o tych, którzy oddają swe życie Chrystusowi w kapłaństwie i życiu zakonnym, by nieść nam słowo Chrystusa, dobrego Pasterza. Warto o nich pamiętać i modlić się za nich. Wpatrzeni w obraz dobrego Pasterza, uczmy się dawać życie, w postawie gotowości, służby drugiemu, szczerej ofiarności, poświęcenia. Niech się w nas ciągle odnawia obraz Chrystusa, który służy, niosąc kulawe owce na swoich ramionach, opatrując rany różnych chorób i zmartwień, przywołując ku sobie w miłości każdego, nawet najbardziej zagubionego człowieka. Uczmy się tego szczególnie uczestnicząc w sakramencie eucharystii, który na ołtarzu uobecnia ofiarę Chrystusa. Poprzez uczestnictwo w niedzielnej Mszy świętej uczmy się pełniejszego zrozumienia słowa „ofiara”, bo tego bardzo naszym czasom potrzeba.

Godzina Święta we wtorki – 7PM

Del escritorio de Padre Krzysztof (Kristof)

El cua o domingo de Pascua la Iglesia celebra el Domingo del Buen Pastor

E l mensaje de Jesús es muy claro: Él es la puerta para ir al Padre y también para ir al hermano. Pero no es una puerta estática, sino una puerta que se abre para

nosotros. Y no sólo eso, Jesús es a la vez la puerta y el pastor que nos ayuda a entrar por ella. Él es el Buen Pastor "que da la vida por las ovejas".

Entrar por la puerta es seguir a Cristo, que "nos guía por el sendero justo". No hay otro guía que nos conduzca por verdes praderas. Preguntémonos, ¿a quién seguimos?, ¿quién es nuestro pastor?, ¿qué voces seguimos?

Entrar por la puerta es identificarse con Cristo, empaparse de sus sentimientos y actitudes, vivir los valores del Evangelio. Para ser pastores de los hermanos tenemos que intentar amar como Cristo, estar dispuestos a entregarnos como Él, desbordar generosidad. No cerremos la puerta que Cristo nos abre. Menos condenas y más acogida, menos poder y más servicio, menos orgullo y más generosidad, sólo así podemos ser signo en el mundo de hoy.

Yo soy la puerta, aparece hoy dos veces en el evangelio: “Jesús volvió a decirles: ‘Esto les aseguro: Yo soy la puerta por donde pasan las ovejas. Todos los que vinieron antes de mí, fueron unos ladrones y bandidos; pero las ovejas no les hicieron caso. Yo soy la puerta: el que por mí entre, será salvo. Será como una oveja que entra y sale y encuentra pastos”.

Una puerta, como lo dice el mismo Jesús, sirve para entrar y salir... Hay un dicho popular que dice: “Si puerta, para qué abierta; y si abierta, para qué puerta”; sin embargo, la puerta tiene sentido en la medida en que permanezca abierta y cerrada; no tendría sentido una puerta que esté siempre cerrada, o una puerta que esté siempre abierta... Dejar entrar y dejar salir, es el sentido más profundo de la puerta... Hay gente que vive con la puerta de su casa abierta de par en par. Los vecinos llegan a molestarse por el ruido que generan en las discusiones, peleas, música o cuando hablan por teléfono. Hay otras personas que siempre están con su puerta cerrada y, no raras veces, hasta con seguro. ¿Cómo está tu puerta? ¿Permites a otros entrar y salir por tu puerta? ¿Estás tan abierto que no tienes espacio para tu propia intimidad y para permitir la intimidad de los demás? ¿Vives bajo llave, encerrado frente a lo distinto, frente a los otros?

Para culminar una bella poesía dice lo siguiente: “No quiero que mi casa sea de una sola puerta, entrada sin salida, como una trampa...” Si quieres tener vida, y vida en abundancia, deja que otros entren y salgan por tu puerta y busca entrar por la Puerta que es mismo Jesús.

Your Help is Needed ... During our recent Lenten Mission, we had the opportunity to listen and be inspired by Fr. Bob Lombardo, he truly was wonderful, and hope we will meet him again.

We also had the pleasure to meet some of the Sisters from the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels which Fr. Bob is the pastor.

These Sisters minister to some of the poorest people on the west side of Chicago, they are called “Franciscans of the Eucharist”. We had the pleasure to talk to one of the sisters, Sister Jessica, at some length, in which we found out some of their immediate needs beyond food. I un-derstand they have an arrangement with some of the large food chains, for outdated breads, meat, and dairy etc. We found out they are in need of bedding, towels, linens, etc. I told her we would attempt to be of some help. During the weeks of May 7, and 14th, we will be collecting NEW and GENTLY USED towels, bed sheets, pillow cases, and summer blankets.

Please be sure they are clean, folded, boxed, or bagged.

This is a great way to clean your linen closet, and help some people who are in need of some of the basics of life

Thanks in advance for your generous help.

THE CALL OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD The Twenty-third Psalm, today’s responso-rial psalm, is arguably the best known of all the psalms. The line that reads “Even though I walk in the dark valley / I fear no evil; for you are at my side / with your rod and your staff / that give me cour-age” (Psalm 23:4) connects this week’s scriptures to the wonderful story of the road to Emmaus, which we heard last week. The Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd, is con-stantly at our side. He calls us each by name, beckoning us into a deeper relation-ship with him. That call, issued to each of us at the moment of our baptism, carries with it the promise of the Good Shepherd: “I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The fact that many monastic churches do not have a prominent tabernacle shapes the patterns of liturgical prayer. Monastic com-munities often protect the ancient value of “receiving from the same sacrifice,” mean-ing that the communicants are assured that what they eat and drink in the Holy Myster-ies actually comes from the same celebra-tion. It surprises many to learn that the Church does not foresee, nor does it pro-vide for, Communion of the faithful from the reserved Sacrament. Liturgical laws have long defended your right to receive from the same sacrifice, the same Mass, that you attend.

At one time, of course, the bread for the Eucharist was the ordinary bread of the day, except unleavened, probably prepared at home. It was broken and distributed to the faithful. Early on the loaf itself was re-ferred to as the hostia in Latin, meaning the “sacrifice,” the same word for the sacrificial animal in Jewish worship, and for Jesus as the Lamb of God. By giving his life on the cross, Jesus became the hostia for us. To this day in the Greek Church, one of the tasks of the priest’s wife is to bake the bread for the Divine Liturgy, sometimes in a bak-ery oven dedicated to that purpose and called a “Bethlehem.”

Today’s familiar individual hosts first ap-peared in the eleventh century at about the time when tabernacles were coming into use. The turn away from “bready” bread allowed the hosts to be reserved since they did not spoil like regular bread, and made the annual “Easter duty” counts easier. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
