From the Desk of Father Jonathan
Last week I was able to accompany a dear friend and mentor in his last moments here on earth. Msgr John Ahern, 88, died peacefully, and with a smile, in a residence for retired priests here in the Bronx. Msgr John Ahern died as he lived. In his youth, John was a strikingly good-looking man, tall and athletic with a keen intellect and warm personality. Early in his priesthood John was asked to take on administrative responsibilities in the Archdiocese, but he quickly made it known that God was calling him to work and live with the poor. For many, many years John lived off the "Bowery" in Lower Manhattan and ran a shelter for homeless men called the Holy Name Center. I had the honor of living in that Center with Msgr Ahern for two years. I witnessed his complete dedication to the men whom he served. Even when they didn't know how to appreciate what he was giving them, he calmly and lovingly served them. One lesson he taught me was that ministry is not about trying to be a hero, but rather a servant. Even today I can almost hear him say these words: "Love the guys because of who they are, and respect where they are. Don't go in wanting to reform them or fix them." I have found that this lesson is applicable for almost every relationship and every ministry. Msgr Ahern was buried in a plot of land with some of the homeless men he served. I will miss you, John Ahern. Please pray for us from your new, heavenly home, surrounded by men who are no longer homeless, because you lead them to our Father's House.
God bless,
Father Jonathan
+ REST IN PEACE +
Please pray for Msgr. John Ahern, Maria Elena Ramirez & all the faithful departed

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
THE CALL OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD
The Twenty-third Psalm, today’s responsorial psalm, is arguably the best known of all the psalms. The line that reads “Even though I walk in the dark valley / I fear no evil; for you are at my side / with your rod and your staff / that give me courage” (Psalm 23:4) connects this week’s scriptures to the wonderful story of the road to Emmaus, which we heard last week. The Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd, is constantly at our side. He calls us each by name, beckoning us into a deeper relationship with him. That call, issued to each of us at the moment of our baptism, carries with it the promise of the Good Shepherd: “I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

RIFLETTIAMO SULLA PAROLA DI DIO
LA CHIAMATA DEL BUON PASTORE
Gesù si presenta come il Mediatore tra Dio e gli uomini. Egli è “la porta” dell’ovile. Non ci è dato di incontrare Dio in modo immediato. Non possiamo stabilire noi il modo in cui comunicare con lui. Dio si rivela e si dona a noi attraverso il Cristo che vive nella Chiesa. Raggiungiamo la comunione con lui mediante la strumentalità della Chiesa in cui è presente e opera Cristo. Gesù non è soltanto il Mediatore del disvelarsi e dell’offrirsi di Dio a noi. È la realtà stessa del Verbo divino che ci raggiunge, ci illumina con la fede, ci trasforma con la grazia, ci guida con la sua parola, i suoi sacramenti e la sua autorità. Egli è la “porta” e il “Pastore” che “cammina innanzi” alle pecore. Gesù, come Buon Pastore, ci conosce per nome, ci ama e per noi offre la propria vita in una dilezione che si spinge sino alla fine. Noi credenti siamo chiamati ad “ascoltare la sua voce” e a “seguirlo” senza porre condizioni. Egli ci reca al “pascolo”. È la croce, dopo la quale, però, giunge la gioia senza limiti e senza fine: una gioia che ha le sue anticipazioni anche nell’ esistenza terrena. © la chiesa.it
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The fact that many monastic churches do not have a prominent tabernacle shapes the patterns of liturgical prayer. Monastic communities often protect the ancient value of “receiving from the same sacrifice,” meaning that the communicants are assured that what they eat and drink in the Holy Mysteries actually comes from the same celebration. It surprises many to learn that the Church does not foresee, nor does it provide for, Com-munion of the faithful from the reserved Sacrament. Li-turgical laws have long defended your right to receive from the same sacrifice, the same Mass, that you attend.
At one time, of course, the bread for the Eucharist was the ordinary bread of the day, except unleavened, proba-bly prepared at home. It was broken and distributed to the faithful. Early on the loaf itself was referred to as the hostia in Latin, meaning the “sacrifice,” the same word for the sacrificial animal in Jewish worship, and for Je-sus as the Lamb of God. By giving his life on the cross, Jesus became the hostia for us. To this day in the Greek Church, one of the tasks of the priest’s wife is to bake the bread for the Divine Liturgy, sometimes in a bakery oven dedicated to that purpose and called a “Bethlehem.”
Today’s familiar individual hosts first appeared in the eleventh century at about the time when tabernacles were coming into use. The turn away from “bready” bread allowed the hosts to be reserved since they did not spoil like regular bread, and made the annual “Easter duty” counts easier.

Alcune Meditazioni questa settimana...
Della bontà del Signore è piena la terra; la sua parola ha creato i cieli. Alleluia.
(Sal 33,5-6)
Io sono il buon pastore, dice il Signore, conosco le mie pecore e le mie pecore
conoscono me. (Gv 10, 14)
È risorto il buon Pastore, che ha dato la vita per le sue pecorelle,
e per il suo gregge è andato incontro alla morte. Alleluia.
REFLEXIONEMOS LA PALABRA DE DIOS
EL LLAMADO DEL BUEN PASTOR El salmo responsorial de hoy es el Salmo 23 y sin duda es el más conocido de los salmos. Los versos que rezan: “Aunque camine por cañadas oscuras, / nada temo, porque tú vas conmigo: / tu vara y tu cayado me sosiegan” (Salmo 23:4) se vinculan en las lecturas bíblicas de esta semana con el maravilloso relato sobre el camino a Emaús, que escuchamos la semana pasada. El Señor Jesús, nuestro Buen Pastor, está constantemente a nuestro lado. Nos llama por nuestro nombre, atrayéndonos a una más profunda relación con él. Ese llamado, hecho a cada uno de nosotros en el momento de nuestro bautismo, lleva la promesa del Buen Pastor: “Yo he venido para que tengan vida y la tengan en abundancia” (Juan 10:10).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El 19 de abril en Uruguay se conmemora a la Virgen del Verdún, que está colocada sobre una columna de seis metros en uno de los cerros que rodean la ciudad de Mi-nas. Esta imagen fue puesta allí por el párroco don José De Luca en 1900. Su intención era dedicar esta imagen en recuerdo del siglo diecinueve y recibir así el siglo veinte, dedicándolo a María Inmaculada en honor de Cristo Redentor.
En el 2007 la peregrinación a la Virgen del Verdún lleva-ba como lema “De la mano de María, discípulos y misio-neros de Jesucristo”. Este bello refrán nos recuerda que vamos caminando de la mano de María, nuestra hermana en la fe, para ser como ella, discípulos de su hijo y misio-neros del mensaje redentor de Jesucristo. No obstante, hay que reconocer que mucho cristianos, especialmente nosotros, los latinoamericanos, nos quedamos sólo con María y nunca llegamos a Jesús. Eso a María no le gusta ya que toda reverencia a ella debe abrirnos a recibir a su único hijo, Jesús, y adorarlo como nuestro único Señor y salvador.
