PASTOR’S COLUMN

Dear Community of Our Lady of Perpetual Help,

“The people stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from their territory ...” Acts

As we struggle to live the Gospel, and bring others to God, we will suffer perse-cution, there will be problems and obstacles. The evil one will always oppose all the works of God.

But the Lord is faithful to us. He will be with us in all our journey of life. He will give us strength, will console us and lead us to success in all we do for Him.

“God will wipe away every tear from their eyes …” Revelation

Let us draw close to our shepherd, who works wonders in our lives.

“My sheep hear my voice … I know them and they follow Me. I will give them eternal life … and they shall not perish.

No one can take them out of my hand …” John

Monsignor Lorenzo

What cons tutes a concern worth repor ng?

Parents have a responsibility to report concerns they have about another person’s behaviors or ac ons that could put their children — or any children — at risk. These concerns are anything that makes the parent un-easy or uncomfortable, or anything that a child reports made them feel uneasy or uncomfortable. Some exam-ples of seemingly li le things that can be worth re-por ng include: A teacher covering her glass classroom door with artwork, elimina ng the ability to see into the classroom from the hall; a youth ministry icebreaker ac-

vity, where teens have to pass a mint candy from per-son to person using only toothpicks in their mouth, de-spite the discomfort of some par cipants.

MINDFULNESS

When we make efforts to be fully aware and awake to everything we do and all that surrounds us, we become mindful of God’s gifts and the grace available to us.

“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on

earth” Colossians 3:2

This takes practice, joyful effort, and discipline.

THE VOICE Jesus says, “My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” Earlier in this Good Shepherd discourse, John the Evangelist explains that Jesus is using “figures of speech.” We cannot take Jesus’ words literally, since we are people, not sheep. We understand the Lord figura vely, then, discovering all the helpful ways that we are similar to sheep. A quick Internet search reveals a number of videos showing how sheep ignore every human voice except that of their shepherd. It is remarkable to see how single-minded sheep are, totally ab-sorbed in grazing, disregarding everything around them. Even when impersonators imitate the shep-herd and call the sheep in the same way the shep-herd does, the sheep do not bother to look up. The instant the real shepherd calls out, however, the sheep snap to a en on, call back in their own way, and come running. CATCHY! It can be helpful to think of our connec on to Je-sus in terms of sheep. Our hearts long to hear the voice of Jesus and respond as readily as farm ani-mals. In reality, however, not one of us living today was alive in first century Pales ne. We never heard Jesus tell us, in his own accent, how he will never allow anyone to take us out of his hand. Here again we think figura vely, then, imagining those “voices” in daily life that help us snap to a en on and draw close to Jesus. Today’s Gospel invites us to spend

me thinking of all that brings us to the Lord. Con-versa ons, scriptures, athle cs, hospitality, service, music, laughter, struggle—any of these things might help our ears perk up as we look to the Lord. As we prac ce listening for “the voice,” we may be sur-prised to realize how o en Jesus has been calling to us in the business of our days. Once we get his voice into our ears, we hope never to lose the sound. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc

LA VOZ Jesús dice: “mis ovejas escuchan mi voz; yo las co-nozco y ellas me siguen”. Un poco antes en el discurso del Buen Pastor, Juan el evangelista explica que Jesús está usando “un lenguaje figurado”. No podemos to-mar las palabras de Jesús literalmente, ya que somos personas, no ovejas. Entendemos al Señor figura va-mente, luego, descubrimos todas las formas ú les que son similares a las ovejas. Una búsqueda rápida en Internet pone de manifiesto un número de videos mostrando cómo una oveja ignora la voz de cada per-sona excepto la de su pastor. Es sorprendente ver có-mo las ovejas son de una mente firme, totalmente ab-sortas pastoreando, ignorando todo lo que está a su alrededor. Aun cuando imitadores reproduzcan al pas-tor y las llame de la misma manera que el pastor lo hace, las ovejas ni siquiera se molestan en voltear a ver. El momento en que el verdadero pastor las llame, es entonces cuando prestan atención, respondiendo al llamado a su manera y vienen corriendo. ¡PEGADIZO! Es de gran ayuda pensar en nuestra conexión con Jesús en términos de oveja. Nuestros corazones anhe-lan escuchar la voz de Jesús y responder tan rápido como lo hacen los animales de una granja. Sin embar-go, en realidad ninguno de nosotros, hoy en día, vivió en la Pales na del primer siglo. Nunca escuchamos a Jesús decirnos, en su propio idioma, cómo él nunca permi ría que alguien nos alejara de su presencia. Aquí otra vez pensamos en forma figurada, luego ima-ginamos esas “voces” en la vida diaria que nos ayuda con un chasquido a poner atención y acercarnos a Je-sús. El Evangelio de hoy nos invita a dedicar empo pensando en todo lo que nos lleva al Señor. Las con-versaciones, las Escrituras, los deportes, la hospitali-dad, el servicio, la música, las risas, las dificultades, cualquiera de estas cosas podría ayudar a nuestros oídos a reaccionar mientras vemos al Señor. Al prac -car escuchar “la voz”, podemos sorprendernos darnos cuenta lo frecuente que Jesús ha estado llamándonos durante los asuntos de nuestros días. Cuando tenga-mos su voz en nuestros oídos, esperemos nunca per-der ese tono de voz. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc

COLUMNA DEL PASTOR Querida Comunidad de Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro,

“La gente provocó una persecución contra Pablo y Bernabé … hasta expulsarlos de su territorio …” Hechos

Al vivir la lucha para encarnar el Evangelio y llevar a otros a Dios, sufriremos la persecución, habrá problemas y obstáculos. El enemigo siempre tratará de impedir las obras de Dios. Pero el Señor es fiel a nosotros. El estará con nosotros en nuestro caminar por la vida. El nos dará la fuerza, nos consolará y nos guiará a tener exito en todo lo que hagamos por El.

“Dios nos quitará toda lagrima de nuestros ojos …” Apocalipsis Acerquémonos a nuestro Pastor, que hace maravillas en las vidas. “Mis ovejas escuchan mi voz … Yo las conozco y ellas me siguen. Yo les doy la vida

eterna y no perecerán jamás … Nadie las arrebatará de mi mano …” Juan

¿Qué cons tuye una preocupación que vale la pena reportar?

Los padres de familia enen la responsabilidad de reportar las inquietudes que tengan sobre los compor-tamientos o las acciones de otra persona que pudieran poner en riesgo a sus hijos, o a cualquier niño. Estas in-quietudes son cualquier cosa que haga que el padre o la madre se sienta incómodo/a, o cualquier cosa que el/la niño/a reporte que le haga sen r incómodo/a. Algunos ejemplos de cosas aparentemente pequeñas que pueden valer la pena informar incluyen: Una maestra que cubre la puerta de vidrio de su aula con obras de arte, eliminar la posibilidad de ver hacia adentro del aula desde el pasillo. Además, una ac vidad para romper el hielo en el ministerio juvenil, donde los adolescentes deben pasar un caramelo de menta de persona a perso-na usando solo palillos de dientes en la boca, a pesar de la incomodidad de algunos par cipantes.
