Today, we celebrate “Good Shepherd Sunday” where we reflect on Jesus’ love and care for us. This month, through your gifts, the Society of St. Vin-cent de Paul was able to be “Good Shepherds” to the hearts of the poor, to those who live in fear and doubt, loneliness and dread.

In the Old Testament,

God is described many times

as the shepherd of the people

of Israel. So

when Jesus

claims this im-

age of God to

describe him-

self, it is star-

tling even to

his disciples. In

today’s Gospel,

he takes the

image one step

beyond the Old

Testament: as the Good

Shepherd, he is to “lay down

his life.” This phrase is stated,

with slight variation, five times

in today’s short passage. Jesus

is describing the meaning of

his life and of his death.

With firm roots in the

story of Israel and their God,

Jesus is now starting a new

chapter. He is

helping his

disciples make

sense of his

death on the

cross, and to

describe how to

follow this par-

ticular shep-

herd. When

Jesus lays down

his life, he is

revealing the infinite love that

he and the Father have for the

flock. To follow Jesus, to be a

part of Jesus’ flock, means

participating in that same sac-

rificial love.

Today’s Readings: Acts 4:8–12; Ps

118:1, 8–9, 21–23, 26, 28, 29; 1

LAY DOWN MY LIFE

to all of St. William’s First Communicants as they continue their journey of faith.

May you always know the peace of Jesus, the light of His love

and the joy of His life within you.

El lenguaje es una herramienta de comunica-ción no solo entre nosotros mismos, sino con Diosito. Nací en EE. UU. pero mi lengua materna es el espa-ñol, lo aprendí en la cuna y lo usábamos en casa. Tam-bién aprendí ingles en la escuela. Hay quienes me preguntan cuál idioma uso para hablar con Dios. Esta pregunta reconoce que el ser humano debe usar un len-guaje humano para rezar. Esta semana celebramos el Día del Idioma para festejar la herencia que tenemos en nuestra lengua castellana. Festejamos el 23 de abril, fecha en que falleció Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra

(1547-1616) autor de Don Quijote de la Mancha. Este autor español fue el que en-riqueció y ayudo a dar for-ma gramática a la lengua española. Hay que saber que el caste-llano que llegó a nuestro continente tiene una larga y rica historia, ya que es una mezcla del latín, dialectos ibéricos y el árabe. Una vez en América el español tomó características y vocabulario indígena, y ahora en EE. UU. se está renovando con anglicismos. Y es en este idioma que yo y muchos latinos hablamos con Diosi-to. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copy-right (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Most languages take the name for this fifty-day season from the Lord’s Passover: Pasqua in Ital-ian, Pâques in French, Paach in Dutch, Pascha in Greek and Russian. English has a much newer name, the name of a pa-gan goddess, Eoster. For centuries before Christian-

ity took hold, in both Ger-many and Britain the spring equinox was dedi-cated to her and the con-cepts of fertility and re-birth. She was said to be a playful spirit, following the Sun King’s chariot, and ending the reign of winter. She had a magical companion, a rabbit who

hid eggs in the fields to coax plants and animals to rebirth. It was believed that Eoster once came across a bird with broken wings and saved it by turning it into a rabbit—an egg-laying rabbit at that! Although they were baptized, most people did-n’t take to the new Latin

name (Pascha Domini) too easily, and kept call-ing the spring equinox by the old accustomed name. For good measure, they kept a pagan name for Christmas, too: Yule. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
