PRAYER CHAIN Deanna Ille
373 - 6285 ♦ [email protected]
Today is Good Shepherd Sunday. The readings, through the persons
of Paul and Barnabas, tell of the persistence of the apostles in their missionary activity. The preaching of the word was the instrument used to build up the early apostolic communities. In our time, protected by God's infinite mercy, we continue to pray for those who give their life for Christ in all nations. The Good Shepherd drives the apostolic mission in the Holy Father and his pastors, and he gathers those who have given their life for Jesus in our time. It would be useful for community groups to identify the parts of the world where Christians and non-Christians alike have been persecuted or killed for their faith. Together, community group members can pray for these victims and their families. Hoy es el domingo de buen pastor. Las
lecturas, a través de las personas de Pablo y Bernabé, hablan de la persistencia de los apóstoles en su actividad misionera. La predicación de la palabra era el instrumento utilizado para la construcción de las primeras comunidades apostólicas. En nuestro tiempo, protegidos por la misericordia infinita de Dios, seguimos orando por aquellos que dan su vida por Cristo en todas las Naciones. El buen pastor conduce a la misión apostólica del Santo Padre y sus pastores, y reúne a aquellos que dieron su vida por Jesús en nuestro tiempo. Sería útil para los grupos de la comunidad identificar las partes del mundo donde cristianos y no cristianos han sido perseguidos o asesinados por su fe. Juntos, los miembros del grupo comunitario pueden orar por las víctimas y sus familias.
From the Desk of Father Kurt The scriptures this Sunday focuses on Jesus as being our Good Shepherd who leads us from the dark valley of death to new green and verdant pastures. My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish”. In the Gospel for this Sunday, which is also known as Good Shepherd Sunday, Jesus is proclaiming that those who belong to Him, choose to live as He did. All of us throughout our lives live with certain moral parameters or boundaries that guide us in our decision-making and influence our human behavior.
As Catholics, we were taught from our youth a certain code of behavior which has influenced us and has helped shape the person that we are today. However, as we go through life, what we have learned about goodness and badness gets challenged and we are forced to make a decision for ourselves whether we will continue living out the beliefs that we were taught as children.
Good Shepherd Sunday reminds us that the moral truths that have guided us in our lives come from a God who loves us as His own and only wants us to be happy and have life and have it more abundantly. Let us continue learning about the moral truths that Jesus has left us through His Church and allow Him to shepherd us into eternal happiness.
Love in Christ, Father Kurt Farrell
