April 17, 2016 The Joy of St. Agatha Family 17 de Abril de 2016 La Alegría de Nuestra Familia T his Sunday celebrates Jesus as “the Good Shepherd.” When announcing this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis focused on Jesus’ “lost sheep” parable in Luke. “[Who] among you,” Jesus asks, “having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it?” (Luke 15:4). A reasonable answer? “No responsible shepherd who wants to keep the job!” Yet Jesus considers one lost person supremely important and suggests blaming the shepherd. The sheep didn’t “go astray,” the shepherd “lost” it. Thus, “when he does find it, he sets it on his shoulders with great joy” (15:5). That tender image of Jesus adorns the simple cross Pope Francis has always worn, the Good Shepherd gently carrying the lost sheep home on his shoulders. During this Jubilee Year of Mercy, may we, who once were lost ourselves but now are found, join Jesus in seeking, finding, and gently carrying home at least one precious lamb. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. E ste domingo se celebra a Jesús como “el Buen Pastor”. Cuando el Papa Francisco anunció este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, se meditó a Jesús en la parábola de Lucas de “la oveja perdida”, “¿Qué hombre de ustedes, si tiene cien ovejas y una de ellas se pierde, no deja las noventa y nueve en el campo y va tras la que está perdida hasta que la encuentra?” (Lucas 15:4). ¿Cuál sería una posible respuesta? “Un pastor responsable que quiera cuidar su buen nombre”. Sin embargo, Jesús considera a una persona que esté perdida, sumamente importante y sugiere culpar al pastor. La oveja no “se extravió”, el pastor la “perdió”. Así que “al encontrarla, la pone sobre sus hombros, gozoso” (15:5). Esa es la imagen compasiva de la cruz pectoral que usa el Papa Francisco, el Buen Pastor llevando sobre sus hombres a la oveja perdida a casa. Durante este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, que nosotros, que también nosotros estuvimos perdidos pero fuimos encontrados, unámonos a Jesús a buscan, encontrar y llevar con cuidado a casa al menos a una oveja perdida. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.

But if you dear children, had to pass three or four hours praying in a Church, as you pass them at a dance or in a cabaret, how heavily the world would press upon you.” - St John Vianney 2 Page | www.stagthas.org To build and foster a Christian Community that offers the opportunity to experience God’s unconditional love and acceptance to all who come into contact with it. Construir y alimentar una Comunidad Cristiana que ofrece la oportunidad de experimentar el amor incondicional de Dios y la aceptación a todos con quienes nos encontremos. W C hen I get home at night and call my dog's name, he comes running because he recognizes it. This is the intimacy Jesus describes in today's Gospel. Such is the intimacy Jesus seeks with all who believe in him. In the second reading we hear how the Jews of Antioch could not accept the truth about Jesus and how salvation is given to all. They could not be inclusive. We know that Jesus opened his arms wide and accepted all as did the Apostles, and as does the Church today. God's love is inclusive of all. If God is that welcoming, can we be any less? It is hard to believe we at the middle of April already. This year is just flying past us. Just want to remind you that our Parish Festival will be coming soon, early June. The ticket committee will be out and about next week-end with the raffle tickets and you will soon see our candidates outside of Church as well. I hope that you will be able to support them by purchasing tickets to help them win and in the long run, help the Church. uando llego a casa le llamo a mi perrito y viene corriendo hacia mí cuando me reconoce. Ésta es la intimidad que Jesús nos dice en el Evangelio, y esa es la intimidad que Jesús nos pide a cada uno de nosotros. Have a blessed week, Sr. Karen Collier Que tengan una semana bendecida, Hermana Karen Collier Join the Plus $1 Club Están Invitados al Club Más $1 A few parishioners have started the Plus $1 Club where they have increased their weekly donations to + $1. For example, one parishioner generally would donate $30 a week, now he is donating $31 a week. The operation of the church is covered by your donations, and a creative idea such as the $1 Club could bring up the church collection and allow us to continue the work and mission of our church. Thank you for your consideration. Algunos parroquianos han comenzado el Club de Más $1 donde han incrementado sus donaciones +$1. Por ejemplo, un parroquiano siempre ha donado $30 a la semana ahora dona $31 a la semana. Como saben, los gastos de la iglesia son cubiertos por las colectas dominicales, una idea creativa como el Club Más $1 es una buena manera de incrementar nuestra colecta y así seguir con la misión y le trabajo de la iglesia . ¡Gracias por considerar esta idea. “As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. “ - 1 Peter 4:10 En la segunda lectura escuchamos cómo los judíos no pudieron aceptar la verdad de la salvación de Jesús. No pudieron incluir a todos. Sabemos que Jesús abrió sus brazos y aceptó a todos, así como los apóstoles y la Iglesia de hoy. El amor de Dios incluye a todos. Si Dios nos invita a todos, ¿podríamos hacer lo mismo? Es difícil creer que ya estamos a mediados de abril, se va muy pronto el tiempo. Recuerden que nuestro Festival se aproxima en junio. El equipo de la rifa estarán vendiendo y repartiendo boletos de la rifa. Espero que nos puedan ayudar comprando y vendiendo boletos.
