In his message for the 53rd Annual Word Day of Prayer for
Vocaons, Pope Francis wrote, “It is my great hope that,
during the course of this Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, all
the bapzed may experience the joy of belonging to the
Church and rediscover that the Chrisan vocaon, just like
every parcular vocaon, is born from within the People of
God, and is a gi4 of divine mercy. The Church is the house
of mercy, and it is the “soil” where vocaons take root,
mature and bear fruit.

a lo largo del Jubileo Extraordinario de la Misericordia, todos los bauIzados pudieran experimentar el gozo de pertenecer a la Iglesia. Ojalá puedan redescubrir que la vocación crisIana, así
como las vocaciones parIculares, nacen en el seno del Pueblo de Dios y
son dones de la divina misericordia. La Iglesia es la casa de la misericordia y la «Ierra» donde la vocación germina, crece y da fruto.”

MIS OVEJAS ESCUCHAN MI VOZ….
Yo las conozco y ellas me siguen…
La Nueva Evangelización es la proclamación del Evangelio con el
fin de conocer a Cristo y proclamarlo como nuestro Señor.
Juan 10, 27Ͳ30 La catequesis en la Nueva Evangelización
Jesús les hace una declaración terminante de su
divinidad. “Mis ovejas
escuchan mi voz, Yo las
conozco y ellas me siguen.
Yo les doy Vida eterna:
ellas no perecerán jamás y
nadie las arrebatará de
mis manos. Mi Padre, que
me las ha dado, es superior a todos y nadie puede
arrebatar nada de las manos de mi Padre. El Padre y
Yo somos una sola cosa.”
San Juan, nos presenta en
este fragmento del Evangelio, algunos interesantes
puntos doctrinales. En la fe en Jesús, y, por tanto, en sus obras, que
son signos. Jesús se presenta con un conocimiento sobrenatural y
universal de sus ovejas. Con un oficio de Pastor que llama a sus ovejas de modo real, aunque misterioso, porque aquéllas oyen su voz;
con un poder vitalizado, pues les da la vida eterna, así es como dice:
“Yo les doy Vida eterna”, entonces se presenta dotado de un poder
trascendente, pues nadie puede arrebatar de su mano estas ovejas,
por eso dice Jesús: “nadie las arrebatará de mis manos”.
“La evangelización es un proceso de toda la vida…”
Nos reunimos en el nombre de Jesús
para conocerlo cada día más y
alimentar nuestra Fe.
Ven, te esperamos este domingo… y todos los
domingos en Sweeney

EL BUEN PASTOR LES DA “LA VIDA ETERNA”
El buen pastor les da “la vida eterna”: ésa es la obra esencial
para la que ha venido Jesús (Jn 17,2), y la vida eterna es precisamente
el conocimientoͲcomunión de amor con Dios y con su Enviado (Jn
17,3). Con este fragmento del Evangelio se expresa la intensidad de la
pertenencia: las ovejas ʹ los creyentes, los discípulos ʹ que reciben
la vida de Jesús están siempre en sus manos, y por eso gozan de una
seguridad eterna. El mismo Padre se las ha confiado, y como nadie
es mayor que Dios, nadie se las puede arrebatar. Se trata de afirmaciones que alientan a la comunidad crisIana, que sigue estando someIda a prueba por la persecución y sigue estando asediada por las
tentaciones. DE LA OFICINA DEL CANCILLER
EL Reverendo Joshua Whiield, Vicario Parroquial en la Parroquia S. Rita Dallas, fue incardinado en la Diócesis de Dallas, el 31
de marzo, 2016. El Padre Joshua inició su jornada como un ministro anglicano, fue ordenado sacerdote católico mediante la
Provisión Pastoral del Papa Juan Pablo II de 2012. El P. Joshua es
ahora un sacerdote permanente de la Diócesis de Dallas.
Pertenecer a Jesús significa pertenecer a Dios mismo, para siempre. Del mismo modo que el Hijo pertenece al Padre y el Padre pertenece al Hijo, en la unidad del amor que es el Espíritu Santo.
MI PADRE, QUE ME LAS HA DADO
ESCUELA SANTA RITA
St. Rita Catholic School
Todo este rebaño espiritual es un don del Padre a Jesús. Mi Padre, que me las ha dado, es superior a todos. Es decir Dios es lo más
grande, lo más precioso. La naturaleza divina, el poder divino, que el
Padre le había comunicado, fue tanto para hacer milagros como para
conducir las ovejas y darles la vida eterna.

Los estudiantes del 3º y 4º grado divirIeron a padres, abuelos y
amigos en el fesIval anual de primavera “Spring Fling”. Nuestros
estudiantes mostraron su espíritu espartano mientras bailaban y
cantaban en los números de temáIca deporIva durante la presentación de este año Itulada "Entra en el juego!"
Diecisiete de nuestros estudiantes del 8º grado eligieron ser capacitados y recientemente fueron comisionados como Ministros de la
Eucarisba para nuestra parroquia. Estamos muy contentos y orgullosos de su parIcipación en nuestra comunidad parroquial ya que
pronto pasarán a la escuela secundaria.
Jesús se presenta una vez más a sí mismo como “buen pastor” (Jn 10,11) que conoce y ama a sus ovejas, por consiguiente, como alguien que espera encontrar en las ovejas escucha, obediencia y
seguimiento confiado.
EL PADRE Y YO SOMOS UNA SOLA COSA
El Padre y yo somos una sola cosa. Entonces, de la misma manera que nadie puede arrebatar nada de la mano de mi Padre, que aquí
son las ovejas, así tampoco se las puede arrebatar de las suyas. Porque, en definiIva, “Yo y el Padre somos una sola cosa.” Directamente
se expresa esta unidad entre el Padre y el Hijo en el poder. El Padre y
el Verbo encarnado son una sola cosa. h-p://caminandoͲconͲjesus.org/
