stand up and proclaim that no one ever has the authority to destroy unborn life.” (excerpt from Pope John Paul II’s Homily of Oct 7, 1979)
SE NECESITA UN PASTOR
Por un tiempo estuvo de moda tener cerdos como mascotas. La publicidad que rodeó a estas criaturas
nos informó que, contrario a la imagen popular, son animales muy limpios y también bastante inteligentes. Resulta triste decirlo, pero las
ovejas probablemente nunca gozarán de este tipo de popularidad doméstica. Ni limpias ni
inteligentes, son mayormente indefensas cuando se dejan
solas, aunque el rebaño sea numeroso. La imagen bíblica
de que somos un rebaño de ovejas no resulta muy favorecedora. Triste es el caso de las ovejas sin pastor porque, sin
duda, perecerán dada su incapacidad de valerse por sí mismas o su carencia de defensas contra sus predadores. Colocarnos al centro de esta imagen poco favorecedora puede fortalecer nuestra fe. Sólo cuando tomamos profunda
conciencia de que necesitamos un pastor, podemos apreciar nuestras bendiciones al haber sido entregados al Pastor, a aquél que dio su vida por nosotros y fue resucitado
para la vida eterna en el Espíritu, a fin de poder guiarnos
por siempre mientras lo seguimos en fe.
Película de San Pedro
Se les invita a ver la película de la vida de San Pedro basada en el
libro de los Hechos de los Apóstoles. La película que es moderna

no. 1 a las 7 PM. No falte usted!
Grupo de Oración
El grupo de oración “Solo Faltas Tú” los invita a tener un encuentro con Cristo los lunes a las 7:00 PM en la iglesia.

IN NEED OF A SHEPHERD
For a while it was very fashionable to own
pigs as pets. The publicity surrounding
these creatures informed us that they
were—contrary to their popular image—
very clean animals, and also quite smart.
Sad to say, sheep will most likely never
enjoy this sort of domestic vogue. They
are neither clean nor smart and are largely defenseless when left on their own, even in large numbers.
The biblical image of us as the flock of sheep is not a particularly flattering one. Sheep without a shepherd are truly sad,
because they most likely will perish either from their inability
to fend for themselves or from their lack of defenses against
predators. Placing ourselves in the heart of this unflattering
image can reinforce our faith. Until we come to a profound
realization of how much we need a shepherd, we cannot appreciate how deeply blessed we are to have been given a
Shepherd, one who laid down his life for us and was raised to
life eternal in the Spirit, so he might guide us and we might
follow him in faith forever.
