St. Edward's Daughters of Isabella would like to
thank everyone who purchased baked goods at
their bake sale in April. We especially want to
thank the ladies of the parish who are not
members who helped in the baking of these
wonderful desserts. And lastly for those who
just made dona8ons of support. This was by far
one the best sales we have ever had.
April 22, 2018 Page 3 Fourth Sunday of Easter
Dear Saint Edward Parish Family:
In this Sunday's Gospel reading, Jesus iden8fies himself as the Good Shepherd. We are
the sheep for whom he has laid down his life. He put everything aside for our sake -- his
human desire for an easy life, the security and familiarity of a home of his own, his 8me,
his sleep, his 8redness, and his natural preference to avoid persecu8on, torture and
death.
We are the sheep who recognize our Shepherd's voice and willingly follow him to be=er
pastures. We want him to be our Good Shepherd. We want his protec8on, his guidance,
and his love.
However, some8mes we forget to listen for his voice. This usually happens when life
doesn't go as planned, the way we want it to. In frustra8on and fear, we assume that
Jesus has le> the sheepfold. We think he's gone a>er the lost sheep and le> us behind to
fend for ourselves, and -- oh no! -- this is surely when the wolves a=ack! Doesn't he
realize that? How could he do this to us if he really cares as much about us as he says he
does? Why is he more concerned about the sheep who strayed than he is about us who
are good sheep?
However, no ma=er how busy Jesus gets and no ma=er how far he has to go to rescue
lost sheep, he never leaves our side. He is always with us. When the path of life takes us
to dead ends or dangerous cliffs, it's not because he's abandoned us. The pain we feel is
his shepherd's staff tapping and prodding us to get us to move in a different direc8on,
and we just haven't understood.
We don't want to go in that other direc8on. We like the familiarity of this old pasture.
We're geCng annoyed at the tap-tap-tapping of the staff on our heads. And we won't
discover the blessing of this discipline un8l we turn again to Jesus with eyes of trust and
ears that are a=en8ve to everything he says, even if at first we don't like what he's
saying.
May God Bless & Keep You Always! F�. Ri��

Cuarto Domingo de Pascua
SALVADOS POR AQUEL QUE FUE RECHAZADO
Algunos adolescentes de la ciudad suelen menos-
preciar y rechazar a los chicos del campo. Sin embargo, no
sería una exageración decir que la humanidad les debe la
vida a los agricultores que cuidan los cul8vos y el ganado
por todo el mundo. La Sagrada Escritura para esta semana
nos recuerda que Jesús fue rechazado como pastor, como
chico del campo, sin embargo, a él le debemos la vida.
En la lectura de los Hechos de los Apóstoles de este
domingo, Pedro les dice a las personas que la salvación
viene por Jesucristo, que fue rechazado y crucificado. En la
carta del apóstol san Juan escuchamos que nos hemos
conver8do en los hijos amados de Dios por Jesús, a quien
el mundo no conoció. Por úl8mo, en el Evangelio Jesús se
describe como el buen Pastor: “yo doy la vida por las ove-
jas” (Juan 10:11). ¿Te unirás a Jesús para dar tu vida por el
rebaño amado de Dios? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Sólo en Jesús encontrará el mundo la
salvación (Hechos 4:8-12).
Salmo — La piedra que desecharon los arquitectos, es aho-
ra la piedra angular (Salmo 118 [117]).
Segunda lectura — Nos hemos cover8do en hijos de Dios
por el amor que el Padre nos 8ene (1 Juan 3:1-2).
Evangelio — El Padre ama a Jesús, el Buen Pastor, que da
la vida por sus ovejas (Juan 10:11-18). Salmo responsorial: Leccionario Hispanoamericano Dominical © 1970, Comisión Episcopal Española. Usado

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El lenguaje es una herramienta de comunicación no
solo entre nosotros mismos, sino con Diosito. Nací en EE.
UU. pero mi lengua materna es el español, lo aprendí en la
cuna y lo usábamos en casa. También aprendí ingles en la
escuela. Hay quienes me preguntan cual idioma uso para
hablar con Dios. Esta pregunta reconoce que el ser hu-
mano debe usar un lenguaje humano para rezar.
Esta semana celebramos el Día del Idioma para festejar
la herencia que tenemos en nuestra lengua castellana. Fes-
tejamos el 23 de abril, fecha en que falleció Miguel de Cer-
vantes y Saavedra (1547–1616) autor de Don Quijote de la
Mancha. Este autor español fue el que enriqueció y ayudo
a dar forma gramá8ca a la lengua española.
Hay que saber que el castellano que llegó a nuestro
con8nente 8ene una larga y rica historia, ya que es una
mezcla del laan, dialectos ibéricos y el árabe. Una vez en
América el español tomó caracterís8cas y vocabulario indí-
gena, y ahora en EE. UU. se está renovando con anglicis-
mos. Y es en este idioma que yo y muchos la8nos habla-
mos con Diosito. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
SILENCIO
El silencio es un regalo de Dios que nos permite hablar-
le más ín8mamente. —San Vicente PalloC
CRISTIANISMO
Cris8anismo es el espíritu de Jesucristo obrando en el
mundo. —Anónimo

Miren cuánto amor nos ha tenido el Padre,
pues no sólo nos llamamos hijos de Dios,
sino que lo somos.— 1 Juan 3:1
April 22, 2018 Page 5 Fourth Sunday of Easter
Hello Dear Friends!
What an exci8ng week this has been! Our young people
received the sacrament of Confirma8on. How beau8ful! Please keep them
in your prayers. Our young friends can always use the support and
encouragement. Last week, I shared some of my favorite passages from
Pope Francis’ apostolic exhorta8on “Gaudete et Exsultate,” (“Rejoice and
Be Glad”). I want to con8nue with that theme because I think it is such a
wonderful message that our young friends need to hear. They, like all of us,
have a call to be holy. In all things, in all places, we are called to be kind,
loving, joyful, merciful, and holy. Unfortunately, we live in a world that is
noisy and busy and we o>en tune out that call to be an ac8ve disciple. We
take the easy road. We allow ourselves to slip into complacency and apathy.
We don’t answer Christ’s invita8on for a true encounter with Him. Pope
Francis addresses this: “True enough, we need to open the door of our
hearts to Jesus, who stands and knocks (Rev 3:20). SomeBmes I wonder,
though, if perhaps Jesus is already inside us and knocking on the door for
us to let him escape from our stale self-centeredness... AOer the
resurrecBon, when the disciples went forth in all direcBons, the Lord
accompanied them (Mk 16:20). This is what happens as the result of true
encounter...Let us rethink our usual way of doing things; let us open our
eyes and ears, and above all our hearts, so as not to be complacent about
things as they are, but unseCled by the living and effecBve word of the
risen Lord...the Church needs passionate missionaries, enthusiasBc about
sharing true life. The saints surprise us, they confound us, because by
their lives they urge us to abandon a dull and dreary mediocrity.”
(No. 136-138). Join me in praying for our young friends, that they will open
the doors of their hearts to Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and may we follow
their example.
Peace and all goodness, Vicky Hathaway
