The Shepherd’s Flock
In Christian art, the earliest depictions of Jesus Christ
were not of his crucifixion or of his resurrection. The first
known renderings of Jesus show him as the Good
Shepherd, the image put before us in today's readings.
In the Gospel passage Jesus reveals that he is the
shepherd and his followers are his "flock."
In the first and second readings, we are told more about
the flock. The passage from Acts assures us that both
Jews and Gentiles are called to follow Jesus. It is faith,
not birthright, that makes us part of the company of
believers. In the passage from the book of Revelation we
learn that the flock that follows this Lamb of God will
also be washed in his blood. They will endure a time of
trial before they enjoy eternal life. Be assured of the
promise, we are told, but know there is a price to be paid.

WELCOME FR. PAUL!
Saint Mary Church welcomes our new priest Father
Joseph Paul Raj. Fr. Paul is a member of the Order of
Heralds of Good News. They proclaim the Good News
of “love and service”. The Charism of the order is to
“train hardworking, zealous, saintly priests and send
them wherever there is a need of priests, especially in
the dioceses.
Fr. Paul was ordained on Dec. 21, 2005 and opted to
work God’s mission in Tanzania where he stayed for 10
years. He served in different ministries including as
an associate pastor, served in an orphanage and school
and boy’s hostel, and for six years as pastor in the
diocese of Ifakara, Tanzania. Fr. Paul’s life message
is “Jesus loves everyone, without any discrimination”.
Take time to greet Fr. Paul at all the Masses this
weekend.
CARE FOR THE ELDERLY
Saint Mary Parish has volunteers who will sit with
your family member while you go shop, go to
appointments, or just take a break. All our
volunteers are properly vetted and approved by the diocese. For
more information, call Kay at 850-243-4602.

Paul and Barnabas encountered both violent rejection and
joyful acceptance of the message they preached. We, too, may
meet with mixed reactions when we use our gifts in the service
of God. But, the Gospel assures us, the reward for those who
follow faithfully is eternal live.

EL REBAÑO DEL PASTOR
En el arte cristiano, las primeras imágenes de Jesucristo no fueron de su crucifixión ni de su resurrección.
Fueron de Jesús como el Buen Pastor, tal como nos lo presentan las lecturas de hoy. En el pasaje evangélico
Jesús se nos revela como el pastor y sus seguidores son su "rebaño".
La primera y la segunda lecturas nos cuentan un poco más sobre el rebaño. El pasaje de los Hechos nos
asegura que tanto los judíos como los gentiles están llamados a seguir a Jesús. Es la fe, no el derecho de
cuna, lo que nos permite pertenecer a la comunidad de creyentes. En el pasaje del libro del Apocalipsis,
aprendemos que el rebaño que le sigue a este Cordero de Dios será también purificado en su sangre. Tendrán
que sobrellevar un tiempo de prueba antes de gozar de la vida eterna. Estén seguros de la promesa, nos avisa,
pero sepan que hay un precio que pagar.
