SHEPHERDS LIKE JESUS Each year this Fourth Sunday of Easter celebrates Jesus the Good Shepherd. Today’s Gospel seems especially timely, for as Christians worldwide suffer persecution like Paul and Barnabas, Jesus promises his sheep enduring, invincible safety: “They shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand.” But we who are free to live our faith peacefully sometimes take our membership in Jesus’ flock for granted, wandering astray to seek our own pleasure and prosperity. The simple cross that Pope Francis always wears seems to show us how Jesus responds to that. Francis’s cross features an image of Jesus, who has sought and found a lost sheep, then joyfully set it on his shoulders to carry it gently home. May Good Shepherd Sunday inspire us, so often lost and found ourselves, to assist Jesus in seeking, finding, and gently carrying home our fellow precious lambs. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

“I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be an instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth.” — Acts 13:47b

The disciples heard Our Lord’s call and were able to spread the Gospel message with strength and vitality. We, too, can experience that same joy if we make room for the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts. When we use our gifts in the way that God intends, He fills us with supernatural joy. A joy that others notice and are attracted to. Los discípulos escucharon el llamado de nuestro Señor y pudieron difundir el mensaje del Evangelio con fuerza y vitalidad. Nosotros también podemos experimentar ese mismo gozo si hacemos espacio para que el Espíritu Santo llene nuestros corazones. Cuando usamos nuestros dones de la manera que Dios quiere, Él nos llena de alegría sobrenatural. Una alegría que otros notan y a la que se sienten atraídos.
