JESUS WILL LEAD US TO
THE FATHER.
W
JESÚS NOS GUIARÁ HACIA
EL PADRE.
L
hether or not you live close to
any shepherds and their
sheep, there is still a strong
appeal in thinking of Jesus as the Good
Shepherd who laid down his life for his
sheep—us! The wolf that might both
devour one of the flock and scatter the
rest is not a force unknown to us. The
wolf can be found both within and outside of us.
Destructive inner forces—anger, jealousy, hatred—can
consume us, leaving us weakened and lifeless in the face
of their power. We need to look no further than the
morning paper or evening news to see the evil that can
come from powerful persons and institutions, wreaking
havoc on the powerless and the poor. Jesus, the Good
Shepherd, is a model for the Church by his self-sacrifice,
by his commitment to those whom the Father has
entrusted to him and whose names He knows. We can
trust Jesus to take us to the Father. For our part, we must
learn to look beyond the narrow confines within which we
tend to locate those who belong to Jesus.
a imagen de Jesús como el Buen
Pastor, el que dio su vida por sus
ovejas, todavía tiene un fuerte
atractivo para nosotros. El lobo que
podría devorar una oveja y esparcir el
resto no es una fuerza desconocida para
nosotros. El lobo se puede encontrar
tanto dentro como fuera de nosotros.
Las fuerzas destructivas internas—el enfado, los celos, el
odio—nos pueden consumir, dejándonos débiles y sin vida
para enfrentar su poder. Solo con ver el periódico de la
mañana o las noticias de la tarde podemos ver el mal que
puede venir de personas e instituciones poderosas, causando
estragos a los pobres y a los que no tienen poder. Jesús, el
Buen Pastor, es un modelo a seguir para la Iglesia por su
abnegación, por su compromiso con aquellos que el Señor le
ha confiado y cuyos nombre Él conoce. Podemos confiar en
Jesús para que nos lleve al Padre. Por nuestra parte, tenemos
que aprender a ver más allá de los estrechos limites dentro de
los cuales tendemos a ubicar a los que pertenecen a Jesús.
What boundaries have you set up that need to be knocked
down so that all will be welcomed “into the fold”?
¿Qué límites has creado que deban ser derribados para que
todos sean bienvenidos "al rebaño"?
Stewardship of Money:
Corresponsabilidad del Dinero:
Tome control de su presupuesto y su chequera.
Take charge of your budget and your checkbook.
Reprioritize your financial goals to ensure that the Lord Re-priorice sus metas económicas para asegurarse de que
el Señor ocupe el primer lugar en el gasto de su riqueza.

OUR CATHOLIC APPEAL • 2015 • NUESTRO LLAMADO CATÓLICO
Did you know…? Your gifts to Our Catholic Appeal
bring families closer to God and one another. Pope
Emeritus Benedict XVI, described the family as “the
first and indispensible teacher of peace.” We want to
nurture the faith of our families and support them as
they face the challenges of our morally troubled
world. Because of your generous gifts to Our Catholic Appeal,
all families in our parish – and throughout our diocese – are
able to benefit from support services provided by the
Diocesan Office of Family Life. Opportunities include marriage
enrichment programs as well as workshops designed to
address the unique needs of stepfamilies and single parent
families.
¿Sabías que…? Tus regalos a Nuestro Llamado
Católico promueven la unión entre las familias y las
acerca a Dios. El Papa Emérito Benedicto XVI,

esencial para la enseñanza de la paz”. Gracias a tus
generosas donaciones a Nuestro Llamado Católico,
todas las familias de nuestra parroquia – y a través de nuestra
diócesis – se benefician de los servicios de apoyo que ofrece
la Oficina de Vida Familiar. Estas oportunidades para las
familias incluyen programas de enriquecimiento así como

específicas de segundas familias (padrastros, madrastras y
hermanastros) y familias con un solo padre o madre.
