MISSION STATEMENT
April 22, 2018April 22, 2018Fourth Sunday of EasterFourth Sunday of Easter
The Gospel is from St. John 10:11 18. The image of Christ as our Good Shepherd has always ap-pealed to human nature. One of the earliest paint-ings of Christ in the Roman catacombs represents him as carrying an injured sheep on his shoulders. We do not mind being likened to sheep in this con-text. There is something guileless about a sheep, and at the same time a lot of foolishness. Does not this describe the vast majority of men, even many of those who openly oppose Christ? Is there not something very sheeplike about the man who, because God gave him a limited intellect, thinks he knows all things and needs no further help from God? The sheep who thinks it knows as much, and even more, than the shepherd and sets out to fend for itself, is no more foolish than the man who thinks he can do without God's revelation and God's Church.
Indeed we all act like sheep on many occasions, when it comes to the things that concern our spir-itual welfare. We often ramble off from the flock to nibble at little bits of forbidden pasture. However, we have a Shepherd who understands us, one whose patience and love are infinite. He is always ready to go after us when we stray too far; his voice is constantly reaching out to us in missions, retreats, sicknesses, crosses and other various ways. How many times have we already felt his loving grace calling and helping us back to the safety of his fold?
Every Christian is a missionary. The very fact of living the Christian life in its entirety, in the midst of our fellowmen, is of itself a powerful example to outsiders. It influences for good the lax Christian and the non Christian. It makes them stop and think and look into their consciences. This is gen-erally the first step on the road back to God.The devout Christian will not stop at good example only. If he truly loves God, he must truly love his neighbor and must want him to have a share in his own good fortune. He knows there is welcome and room in heaven for all men, and he knows that the greater the number there the greater will be God's eternal glory. He will strive then by every available means to help his neighbor into Christ's fold. Do not shut your ears to this call of Christ today. Give him a helping hand by helping your fellowman to see the light of the true faith.

22 de Abril de 20184 Domingo de Pascua
El Evangelio de hoy es el de San Juan capitulo diez, versículos once al dieciocho y nos presenta la imagen de Cristo como nuestro buen pastor que siempre recu-rre a nuestra naturaleza humana. Una de las primeras pinturas en las catacumbas en Roma es la de Cristo cargando una oveja en sus hombros. A nosotros nos gustaría ser esa ovejita. Esta oveja representa la inocencia y necedad en nosotros mismos. La mayoría de las personas somos así; hasta las que se oponen a las enseñanzas de Cristo. ¿No es esto una buena re-presentación de muchos de nosotros; que por tener una inteligencia limitada nos creemos que lo sabemos todo y no necesitamos de Dios? El hombre que piensa que no necesita a Dios y la Iglesia es como la oveja que rechaza la ayuda del pastor pues se cree que se lo sabe todo.
Sobretodo, cuando nosotros tenemos batallas espiri-tuales nos comportamos como la ovejas necias e inocentes. Muchas veces nos descarriamos del re-bano buscando mordisquear un poquito de las prade-ras prohibidas. Sin embargo, nosotros tenemos un pastor que nos tiene paciencia, nos ama infinitamente y nos comprende. El siempre esta presto a ir a buscar-nos cuando nos vamos lejos de El, su voz esta cons-tantemente tratando de lograr alcanzarnos cuando va-mos a las misiones, retiros, cuando nos enfermamos, en esa cruz que cargamos diariamente y nos busca de muchas otras maneras. ¿Cuantas veces hemos senti-do su llamado cariñoso lleno de gracia para ayudarnos a regresar seguros al redil?
Todo Cristiano es un misionero. Como cristianos se-guidores de Cristo, vivimos una vida de forasteros en este mundo, en donde los problemas y adversidades ocurren a diario a todos nosotros. Estamos en medio de los cristianos flojos, los buenos seguidores de Cris-to, y los no creyentes. Estas situaciones nos hace de-tenernos a pensar y mirar dentro de nuestra concien-cia. Este es el primer paso para volver al camino de Dios.
Un verdadero Cristiano siente la necesidad de dar y compartir lo que tiene con los demás. El seguidor de Cristo no se conforma con solo ser un buen ejemplo para los demás. Si verdaderamente amas a Dios, sien-tes la necesidad de compartir el caudal del amor de Dios con el prójimo. El cristiano sabe que en el cielo hay un lugar para todos los hombres y sabe que mien-tras mas almas vayan al cielo, mayor será la Gloria que le daremos a nuestro Dios eterno. De igual mane-ra nos esforzaremos por buscar los medios para atraer a todas las personas a ser parte del rebano de Dios. Ayudando a nuestros hermanos estaremos ayudando a que vean la luz de la verdad de la fe.
