GOSPEL REFLECTION: By the Resurrection of Jesus,
we are renewed and restored back to God. We are a
people, the sheep of His flock. Jesus is our Good
Shepherd. Like a shepherd, He will gather the lambs in
His arms and carry them close to His heart. And so, as
sheep, we need to heed His voice. We need to know
our Lord, go to closer to Him because He will lead us to
the springs of life-giving water and wipes away our
tears of sadness and grief. He invites us to have a
deeper relationship with Him.
As we celebrate Good Shepherd Sunday, coming out
from the Priests' Retreat, we as priests, shepherds of
the flock, are loved sinners and at the same time
chosen and sent to bring the Mercy of God to His
People. Like Jesus the Good Shepherd, we priests tend,
feed and nourish the sheep and bring the strayed lamb
to the Church of Christ. As a sheep, this is what we
only need to do: "Pay attention! Be astonished! Tell
about it!" (Mary Oliver)
THANK YOU!: Congratulations to the _____ children

REFLEXIONES SOBRE EL EVANGELIO: Por la
resurreccion de Jesus, somos renovados y restaurados
a Dios.
Somos un pueblo, las ovejas de su rebano.
Jesus es nuestro buen pastor. Como un pastor, el reune
los corderos en sus brazos y los lleva cerca de su
corazon. Y así, como ovejas, necesitamos prestar
atencion a su voz. Necesitamos conocer a nuestro
Senor, ir mas cerca de el porque el nos conducira a
los manantiales de agua que da vida y seca nuestras
lagrimas de
tristeza y dolor. El nos invita a tener
una relacion mas profunda con el.
Al celebrar el domingo del buen pastor, saliendo de
retiro de los sacerdotes, nosotros como sacerdotes,
pastores del rebano, somos seres queridos pecadores
y al mismo tiempo elegidos y enviados a traer la
misericordia de Dios para su pueblo. Como Jesus el
buen pastor, nosotros sacerdotes cuidamos,
alimentamos y alentamos a las ovejas y el cordero
extraviado de la iglesia de Cristo. Como una oveja, esto
es lo que solo tenemos que hacer: "prestar atención!
Ser sorprendido! Contarlo!" (María Oliver)
¡GRACIAS! Felicidades a los ninos y ninas que fue
bautizados el 7 y 9 de abril. Gracias a los padres y
padrinos que continuan con sus deberes cristianos y
responsabilidades sobre sus hijos y ahijados. Tambien,
gracias por recordar a mí y a mis hermanos sacerdotes
en sus oraciones durante nuestro retiro espiritual.
