Fourth Sunday of Easter
THE SHEPHERD’S FLOCK In Christian art, the earliest depictions of Jesus Christ were not of his crucifixion or of his resurrection. The first known renderings of Jesus show him as the Good Shepherd, the image put before us in today’s readings. In the Gospel passage Jesus reveals that he is the shepherd and his followers are his “flock.” In the first and second readings, we are told more about the flock. The passage from Acts assures us that both Jews and Gentiles are called to follow Jesus. It is faith, not birthright, that makes us part of the company of believers. In the passage from the book of Revelation we learn that the flock that follows this Lamb of God will also be washed in his blood. They will endure a time of trial before they enjoy eternal life. Be assured of the promise, we are told, but know there is a price to be paid. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. EL REBAÑO DEL PASTOR En el arte cristiano, las primeras imágenes de Jesucristo no fueron de su crucifixión ni de su resurrección. Fueron de Jesús como el Buen Pastor, tal como nos lo presentan las lecturas de hoy. En el pasaje evangélico Jesús se nos revela como el pastor y sus seguidores son su “rebaño”. La primera y la segunda lecturas nos cuentan un poco más sobre el rebaño. El pasaje de los Hechos nos asegura que tanto los judíos como los gentiles están llamados a seguir a Jesús. Es la fe, no el derecho de cuna, lo que nos permite pertenecer a la comunidad de creyentes. En el pasaje del libro del Apocalipsis, aprendemos que el rebaño que le sigue a este Cordero de Dios será también purificado en su sangre. Tendrán que sobrellevar un tiempo de prueba antes de gozar de la vida eterna. Estén seguros de la promesa, nos avisa, pero sepan que hay un precio que pagar. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Religious Education News Gospel Reading for Fourth Sunday of Easter Gospel Reflection: Our being “sheep” does not mean that we blindly follow Jesus, but that we actively pursue a relationship with him by hearing his voice and heeding his words. Although following the Good Shepherd truly leads to eternal life, the way of discipleship is not easy. However, nothing can interfere with Jesus’ care for us: we are secure in his hands. We are never alone for he is the good Shepherd.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El 25 de abril la Iglesia conmemora a Pedro de Betancur (1626–1667). Originalmente de las Islas Canarias, a la edad de 24, se trasladó a Cuba. En 1651 llegó a Guatemala con la ambición de predicar a Cristo. Esto lo hizo, no como sacerdote ni religioso. El fue como laico, reconociendo su deber bautismal de evangelizar. En 1655 ingresó en la Orden Seglar Franciscana y como laico quiso poner en práctica la espiritualidad franciscana, ayudando a los pobres. Con su propio pan o casa el alimentaba al hambriento y amparaba al indigente. A todos recordaba la necesidad de la salvación y en la simplicidad de su mensaje derretía el egoísmo de los ricos. Les abría el corazón enseñándoles a compartir con los más pequeños de sus hermanos y hermanas. Eventualmente su nobleza de espíritu atrajo a hombres y mujeres que deseaban compartir su apostolado y fundó la Orden Betlehemita. También fundó la primera escuela de niños en Centro América convirtiéndose en el alfabetizador de Guatemala. Así dio ejemplo de lo que la Iglesia debe hacer por el pobre y marginado. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
