From our Pastor's Desk
|
|
Today, the Fourth Sunday of Easter, has been designated by the Vatican as the World Day of Prayer for Vocations. Whereas there are several types of vocations, the focus today is on the vocation of priesthood and religious life. We are praying that many more people will accept the Lord’s call to become priests and religious; for the harvest is rich but the laborers are still few.
Now, today is also Good Shepherd Sunday. Jesus, according to the second reading, is “the Shepherd and Guardian of our souls” (1 Pet. 2:25). And Jesus Himself declares: “I am the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd is one who lays down his life for his sheep” (John 10:11).
To understand well what Jesus means by referring to Himself as the Good Shepherd, we need to consider the use of the image of ‘shepherd’ in the Old Testament.
The Israelites saw their leaders or kings as shepherds (Ezek. 34). Above all, they saw God himself as their shepherd. Hence, we have the most popular psalm, Psalm 23, ‘The Lord is my shepherd.” Several other Psalms refer to God as shepherd and His people as sheep or flock as well.

St. Mark the Evangelist: Proclaiming the Good News |
|
The Church honors Mark the Evangelist, one of the four Evangelists, whose Gospel brings us a vivid and urgent account of the life and mission of Jesus Christ.
Though not one of the Twelve Apostles, St. Mark played a vital role in the early Church. He is believed to have been a close companion of St. Peter, and his Gospel reflects the preaching and eyewitness testimony of Peter himself.
