THE GOOD SHEPHERD
The Good Shepherd not only knows us but has given his life for us. We belong to the
Shepherd. His life is the source of our life. One part of this relationship is firm—God’s
part. The Father has entrusted us to the Son, and the Son will not let go of our hand.
The other part of this relationship depends on us, of course. In today’s Gospel, Jesus
assumes our open-hearted good will. “My sheep hear my voice . . . and they follow me.”
This hearing and following is a daily undertaking that implies responsibility. Take Paul
and Barnabas, for example. They moved ever closer to the reality that salvation was also
meant for those members of the flock who did not yet know God’s saving power. The
Gentiles were the sheep known by the Shepherd. Paul could finally see that now was the
acceptable time for them to know the Shepherd. Now the circle could be completed.
Finally, those who were known and loved by the God of Jesus could know and follow
the God of Jesus. There will never be a last chapter to this story of salvation. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The reception of Holy Communion at Sunday Mass is such an expected feature of the
Mass these days that it is surprising to realize that for many centuries, receiving
Communion was a relatively rare event in the life of a faithful Christian. “Easter duty”
means that Catholics must celebrate reconciliation if aware of serious sin, and receive
Holy Communion during the Easter season. For a while, this was a requirement of
Easter week, and later extended to the whole season of fifty days, and even beyond that
by a few weeks. For the majority of people long ago, this meant Communion was a once
-a-year moment. A rather complex bureaucracy grew up around this rule in the Middle
Ages. Amazingly, people received a kind of token at confession admitting them to
Communion in their home parish, which then kept careful records and reported them to
the bishop.
Surviving records can tell us a great deal about our ancestors. In fact, people were
encouraged to journey to the church of their baptism in order to fulfill their duty, and
therefore the Easter duty includes in its origins a grateful pilgrimage to the font in which
you were first embraced by Christ. If your “Holy Mother Church” is within a drive, why
not make a pilgrimage to that font be a feature of your Easter celebration of these fifty
days? —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
EL BUEN PASTOR
El Buen Pastor no sólo nos conoce sino que da su vida por nosotros. Le pertenecemos.
Su vida es la fuente de nuestra vida. Una parte de esta relación es firme –la parte de
Dios. El Padre nos ha confiado al Hijo, y el Hijo no nos soltará la mano.
La otra parte de esa relación depende de nosotros, por supuesto. En el Evangelio de hoy,
Jesús asume que aceptamos su voluntad con el corazón abierto. “Mis ovejas oyen mi
voz… y me siguen”. Este oír y seguir es una tarea diaria que implica responsabilidad.
Tomemos por ejemplo a Pablo y a Bernabé. Ambos estaban convencidos de que la
salvación era también para aquellos miembros del rebaño que aún no conocían el poder
salvador de Dios. Los gentiles eran las ovejas que el Pastor conocía. Pablo pudo
finalmente ver que ahora era el momento oportuno para ellos conocer al Pastor. Ahora el
círculo se cerraría. Finalmente, aquellos a quienes el Dios de Jesús conocía y amaba,
podrían conocer y seguir al Dios de Jesús. Nunca habrá un último capítulo en esta historia
de salvación. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El 25 de abril la Iglesia conmemora a Pedro de Betancur (1626–1667). Originalmente de
las Islas Canarias, a la edad de 24, se trasladó a Cuba. En 1651 llegó a Guatemala con la
ambición de predicar a Cristo. Esto lo hizo, no como sacerdote ni religioso. El fue como
laico, reconociendo su deber bautismal de evangelizar.
En 1655 ingresó en la Orden Seglar Franciscana y como laico quiso poner en práctica la
espiritualidad franciscana, ayudando a los pobres. Sin su propio pan o casa el alimentaba al
hambriento y amparaba al indigente. A todos recordaba la necesidad de la salvación y en la
simplicidad de su mensaje derretía el egoísmo de los ricos. Les abría el corazón
enseñándoles a compartir con los más pequeños de sus hermanos y hermanas.
Eventualmente su nobleza de espíritu atrajo a hombres y mujeres que deseaban compartir
su apostolado y fundó la Orden Betlehemita. También fundó la primera escuela de niños
en Centro América convirtiéndose en el alfabetizador de Guatemala. Así dio ejemplo de lo
que la Iglesia debe hacer por el pobre y marginado. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

EVENTS IN OUR PARISH
Reflecting on God’s Word
The game called Follow the Leader can be fun—depending on how the
leader leads. If the leader charges through tangled bushes, over high
fences, under fallen branches, and around barking dogs, trying to lose
and discourage the other players, the followers tend to give up in defeat, feeling cowardly, sad, and weak. On the other hand, if the leader
blazes the trail for the others, and encourages and guides them along the
way, the followers can complete the game feeling confident and joyful.
Today’s scriptures show Christ as the latter kind of leader. He guides us
and wipes away our tears. He is a shepherd who encourages us and
brings us through suffering to life-giving water. Paul and Barnabas
joyfully follow his lead by becoming Christ-like leaders themselves.
They encourage and ease the way for their own followers through
whatever distress may come their way. In the same way, all followers
of Christ are meant to become leaders who share with others the
courage, confidence, and joy they have found in following Christ. —Virginia

Sacred Heart Parish will be on board again this year
in support of “Get on the Bus”. Nine buses full of
children will travel from throughout
California Father's Day weekend to our prisons in
Soledad. For many, this is the only day of the year
the children will visit their father. Your
donation after all Masses on the weekend of May 4th and 5th will help provide a
special family lunch inside the prison visiting rooms. From Bishop Garcia's letter
to all Parishes in support of “Get on the Bus”, "It is my fervent hope that once
again this year you will open your hearts to share in this important ministry." For
more information, please contact Susan at [email protected].
