The Liturgy of the Day
a la Liturgia del Día
Every year on the Fourth Sunday
of Easter we hear a Gospel story in
which Jesus proclaims that he is
the Good Shepherd, so this
Sunday has come to be called
Good Shepherd Sunday. For this
reason today is also the World
Day of Prayer for Vocations. As
we continue with our worship
today, let us pray in gratitude for
all the good shepherds in our lives,
and pray as well for all those who
are discerning their vocation.
Todos los años en el cuarto domingo
de Pascua escuchamos el relato del
Evangelio donde Jesús proclama que
él es el Buen Pastor, por eso este
domingo ha llegado a conocerse
como el domingo del Buen Pastor.
Por esa misma razón hoy es también
el Día Mundial de Oración por las
Vocaciones.
A
medida
que
continuamos nuestra celebración de
hoy oremos con gratitud por todos los
buenos pastores que hay o han habido
en nuestra vida, y oremos también
por todas aquellas personas que están
discerniendo su vocación.

HOMILIA DE HOY
Proyecto de Homilía
• El episodio de los Hechos de hoy bien podría
titularse “El que se mete a redentor, sale
crucificado”, con lo cual todos podemos
relacionarnos. Pedro cura a un paralítico de
nacimiento invocando el nombre de Jesús. Cuando
subsecuentemente es conducido ante las
autoridades, Pedro se niega a ser intimidado y ni
siquiera a moderar sus palabras. Con una
convicción apasionada, que hoy día pudiera hacer
sentir incómodos aun hasta a los creyentes, Pedro
declara: “Ningún otro puede salvarnos”.
• La primera carta de Juan reconoce que el mundo,
tristemente, ni conoce a Jesús ni nos reconoce a
nosotros; pero concluye en tono alentador que
Jesús sí nos conoce. El Evangelio de Juan va aún
más allá al decir que llegará el día en que todos
conozcamos a Jesús y pertenezcamos a un solo
rebaño.
• El cuarto domingo de Pascua siempre describe a
Jesús como nuestro Buen Pastor y por tanto induce
a que la comunidad ore por las vocaciones
sacerdotales, para que hayan pastores que imiten el
corazón de Jesús. Durante la cincuentena pascual
en que celebramos la victoria de Jesús sobre el
pecado y la muerte las Escrituras nos desafían a
todos a imitar el amor entregado de nuestro Buen
Pastor. A fin de que no podamos olvidarnos de ese
punto, Jesús declara cinco veces en ocho
renglones: “Yo doy la vida por mis ovejas”. La
relación entre el pastor y las ovejas es, según las
enseñanzas de Jesús, una relación de amor mutuo e
íntimo: conocer y escuchar denotan una cálida
relación en vez de una fría obligación. La Iglesia,
que nació del sacrificio hasta la muerte de este
Buen Pastor, es un rebaño global y no una
corporación multinacional. La clave, por tanto, de
la renovación de la Iglesia y de la evangelización
del mundo es nuestro compromiso renovado con
Jesús en una relación personal que pone de
manifiesto el amor del discípulo.
Pregunta de la Semana
¿De qué manera concreta y a favor de quién puedo
imitar esta semana a Jesús que “da la vida por sus
ovejas”? Tal vez a favor de alguien que no
pertenece (todavía) al rebaño del Buen Pastor.
