got to their feet and came with

Greet Him
If we pay attention we can learn a lot about animals
and about their humans.
Think of the endearing way domestic beasts recognize their owners. Dogs collapse into a frenzy of
delight when you come home, even if you have
been gone for fifteen minutes. The new heaven has
arrived in their midst, and hysterics are the least
they can do.
Somewhere there may be a cat like this, but most of
them have a different reaction than the heartsick
dogs. “Oh it’s you again,” they seem to say.
I know some exceptions. Though my cousin’s cat
does model indifference with most people, but when
I walk into the house it makes a quiet bee-line to
where I am sitting, making no secret of how it enjoys being petted by me. I have never been quite
sure whether to be complimented. Nor can I explain
it. There might be months between visits and still
this cat makes its way to the petting machine, with
both dignity and quiet craving.
Judging from his stories, Jesus paid a lot of attention to animals and to their humans. He watched
sheep many times on his trips through the lands
and he observed their ways. They were not cat-like
or dog-like, but were heartfelt in a different way. The
sheep followed as the shepherds made them safe,
guarded them, led them to food and drink. Jesus
even compared a milling crowd of people to “sheep
without a shepherd.”
But I have been told that, in the Jerusalem of Jesus’
day, there was only one sheepfold. Various flocks
would arrive, along with their respective shepherds,
and all these flocks were funneled into the one
sheepfold. This made for a rather large gathering,
and there wasn’t any practice of branding or marking in order to tell one from the other. What's more,
sheep, unlike dogs, do not make themselves joyous
when their shepherd walks up. Smartness was not
a noticeable trait in them.
Then how could each shepherd reclaim his own
sheep?
Two ways. One, the shepherd already knew them
by heart. He might even have a special name for
each character in the flock. And two, the sheep
themselves recognized the voice of their master.
Jesus refers to this reaction in
Sunday’s short Gospel. “My
sheep hear my voice; I know
them, and they [know] me,” he
says. Haven’t you ever craved the voice of someone who would make things right, would lift the burden from your shoulder? Someone who knows you
by name and loves you?
Jesus is that someone, he tells you. You “shall never perish,” he says, and then he steadies you with
his hands. The Father has given you to Jesus. Who
could revoke that gift?
I have a hunch you do recognize Jesus’ voice when
you hear it. Your feelings move when you listen
trustingly to a certain Gospel, for instance. Or when
you receive the bread of everlasting life and the cup
of salvation—not as a stranger might, but as a
member of a well-fed and greatly cared for flock.
What about trying, Sunday, to notice whether your
spirit inclines to Jesus? Maybe you will settle into
his lap for comfort. Your soul seeks him always, you
know.
And finds him.

Please join the school children in the Church, as they
lead us in Praying the Rosary at 2:30pm on the
following date: May 13th.
Mrs. Kahle’s 4th grade class has been busy meeting people all
across the world through Classroom Mystery Skype! During the
first four Mystery Skype games, the students met other classes
from Virginia, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Oklahoma. Each class
asks yes or no questions about their location and whichever class
is the first to guess the other’s location is the winner. The students
are taking learning into their own hands as they use critical thinking
skills to solve the mystery. After the game is over, there is a chance
for both classes to ask each other more questions about their state,
city, and school.
The fourth graders have successfully guessed the locations of individuals in Germany and Australia. The group from Australia used
an interactive presentation called Zeetings. During that session
they focused on the importance of technology and how it has
changed over the years. The fourth graders are looking forward to
meeting many more people across the globe and expanding their
global awareness.

El Reto del Buen Pator
Este Cuarto Domingo de Pascua abre nuevas posibilidades, no todas muy agradables, para nosotros
que compartimos la misión y ministerios de la Iglesia.
Debíamos haber notado que las lecturas después del
Domingo de Resurreción hablan de eventos bastante
desagradables. Los discípulos reciben golpes y
están encarcelados, el Cordero Pascual (Jesús mismo) es sacrificado, y el Buen Pastor nos informa que
unos adversarios nos intentarán quitar del abrazo de
Dios. Nada de esto ayuda para un paso tranquilo del
Antiguo al Nuevo Testamento.
Sospecho que la Iglesia cita estas escrituras con el
propósito de quitarnos nuestra euforia inicial sobre la
Resurrección de Jesús. Las distintas narraciones de
la Resurrección, sea de Marcos, Mateo, Lucas o
Juan, existen para enviarnos a funcionar en un mundo que duda de nuestros motivos. Al invitarnos a participar en el Concilio Vaticano Segundo, el papa Juan
XXIII informó a los miembros de la Iglesia que nuestra reunión tenía que ofrecer al mundo una alternativa a las injusticias, al agoísmo y apatía que lo
oprimía. El se quejaba de las tecnologías desarrolladas después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial que
habían mejorado la vida a unos cuantos comercios y
naciones dejando a grandes poblaciones en la
miseria. Hoy vemos el resultado de las causas analizadas por él al medir la riqueza conjunta de sólo
doce familias particulares en los Estados Unidos que
controlan 42% de todo lo que existe dentro de sus
fronteras sin hablar de sus negocios en otros
lugares. ¿No escandaliza esto más que acercarse a
la comunión sin haberse confesado?
Estas lecturas claramente revelan que las normas
para compartir la comunión en “la fracción del pan”
se basaron, no en la limpieza del alma individual,
sino en la disposición del pueblo reunido a compartir
el pan de su propia vida. No fue la confesión de pecados la que encadenó los tobillos de San Pablo,
sino su insistencia en la igualdad entre todos los que
compartían la vida del Resucitado. Su prédica fue
herejía para las religiones históricas y subversión
para los gobiernos arbitrarios. Pablo y Bernabé
fueron echados de la ciudad, Antioquía de Pisidia,
insultados y condenados. Según los Hechos de los
Apóstoles, si no hubieran salido, la gente los habría
matado. Una pregunta: ¿Qué dicen los líderes
eclesiásticos hoy sobre la realidad del sexismo, racismo y privilegio económico que los apóstoles
declararon muerta con Cristo, desapareciendo para
siempre en su resurrección?
Page/Página 5
El Libro de Revelaciones es un
texto apocalíptico tejido de los
símbolos presentes en el Antiguo Testamento para subvertir el
Imperio Romano. Somos injustos
al leerlo como una profecía
moderna. Nos presenta un
hecho cumplido; Cristo, a pesar
de todo el mal que nos rodea, ya
ha ganado la batalla en contra de las opresiones impuestas sobre los pueblos y el mundo. ¿Nos pone
incómodos saber que nuestra importancia hoy se
determina por el deseo de teñir nuestra ropa con la
sangre del Cordero? ¿A quién pertenecemos?
¿Somos el último elemento del mundo corrompido y
fragmentado o el primer elemento que proclama su
redención y sanación?
La tercera lectura es del Evangelio según Juan. Se
selecciona de un texto que se encuentra exactamente a la mitad del libro. El Buen Pastor nos informa
que él es, a la vez, Pastor, puerta del redil y el
cordero degollado. También él se declara una misma cosa con el Padre. El pasaje tiene un solo
propósito; nos dice que ha comenzado el proceso en
nosotros que nace de la Encarnación. Como la Palabra de Dios se ha humanizado, nosotros nos divinizaremos, amando como Dios ama.
Ya vivimos por igual la vida de Cristo Resucitado,
esta vida responsable del Buen Pastor quien es una
misma cosa con el Padre. Esta humanidad compartida de Cristo tiene el poder de transformar el mundo
como Juan XXIII quería. Ya podemos amar, abrazar
y sostenernos, los unos a los otros como Dios siempre lo ha hecho. Pero hay que preguntarnos:
¿Podemos aceptar el reto que Dios nos da en Cristo
Resucitado, siendo y haciendo para los demás lo
que Dios ha sido y hecho con nosotros? ¿No es esto
el verdadero desafio en el tríptico divino de la
Creación, la Encarnación y la Resurrección?

STEWARDSHIP CORNER
It is not easy being Christian and
Catholic in today’s world. Our society, because of the critical nature of
the media in large part, tends to
view people of faith and morals with
some distrust. That is a challenge
for us.
Paul and Barnabas experience something similar in today’s First Reading from the Acts of the Apostles. The
people of Antioch in Pisidia “expel (them) from the territory.” No one likes or appreciates rejection. It is humiliating
and discouraging. There may be times in our own lives
when we follow firmly our Catholic beliefs and experience
something similar. However, like Paul and Barnabas, we
need to become even more determined in our desire to
be a Disciple of the Lord.
In their case, they moved on to Iconium and continued
their ministry and their message. In fact, Holy Scripture
adds, “The disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.” We, too, need to seek that joy and to understand that
we have been blessed and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Blessed Mother Teresa said, “Give yourself fully to God.
He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your
own weakness.” Like Paul and Barnabas, and Mother
Teresa, we need to seek and utilize God’s strength.
