THE GOOD SHEPHERD This Fourth Sunday of Easter is traditionally referred to as “Good Shepherd Sunday.” Today we listen to the words of the Lord as he refers to himself as the “good shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep.” It is sometimes so difficult for us to grasp the reality that anyone would lay down his or her own life for the sake of someone else. This is especially true in a society that places high value on power and personal advancement, often at the cost of “trampling” on other people in order to climb the ladder. Today’s scriptures point to the one we are called to emulate—the one who lays down his life for his sheep. Today’s scriptures challenge us to discover ways to bring life to those around us—to build up rather than to tear down. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. .

“See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God.” — 1 John 3:1

EL BUEN PASTOR El Cuarto Domingo de Pascua tradicio-nalmente se conoce como el “Domingo del Buen Pastor”. Hoy escuchamos las palabras del Señor cuando se llama a sí mismo “el buen pastor que da la vida por sus ovejas.” A veces es tan difícil para nosotros comprender la realidad de que alguien esté dispuesto a dar su vida por alguien. Esto es muy cierto en una sociedad que pone tanto énfasis en el poder y en el avance social, con frecuencia a expensas de “pisotear” a otra gente para escalar a la cima. Las Escrituras de hoy nos muestran a quién debemos imitar –al que da su vida por las ovejas. Las Escrituras de hoy nos retan a descubrir la manera de llevar vida a los que están a nuestro alrededor –a construir y no a destruir. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Dear Parishioners and friends,

Today is Good Shepherd Sunday. The universal church also celebrates today “World Day of Prayer for Vocations”. “The purpose of the World Day of Prayer for Vocations is to publically fulfill the Lord's instruction to, "Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest" (Mt 9:38; Lk 10:2). As a climax to a prayer that is continually offered throughout the Church, it affirms the primacy of faith and grace in all that concerns vocations to the priesthood and to the consecrated life. While appreciating all vocations, the Church concentrates its attention this day on vocations to the ordained ministries (priesthood and diaconate), to the Religious life in all its forms (male and female, contemplative and apos-tolic), to societies of apostolic life, to secular institutes in their diversity of services and membership, and to the missionary life, in the particular sense of mission "ad gentes".” (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) Let us pray especially for vocations to the priesthood because without priests there is no Eucharist. Priests and the Eucharist are closely connected because it is through the priests that the Sacrament of the Eucharist that Jesus initiated at the Last Supper is fulfilled. “Do this in memory of me.” (Luke 22:19) Let us pray that young men will hear and answer the call of the Good Shepherd… to tend and feed His lambs (John 21:15-17), and to be fishers of men (Matthew 4:19).

Fr. Bernard Ranoa & Fr. Manny Ediza

“Becoming a priest or a man or woman religious is not primarily our own decision…. Rather it is the response to a call and to a call of love.”

- Pope Francis, Address to Seminarians and Novices, July 6, 2013 P.S. When you are out of town, visit us at www.stmichaelsandiego.org.

GOD’S WORD TODAY. What does it mean to gather together in the name of Jesus? Today’s scriptures give us a hint. Saint Peter tells us that it was in the name of Jesus that the crippled man was healed. The psalm reminds us that Jesus is the stone rejected by the builders that has become the corner-stone. And Jesus himself reminds us in today’s Gospel that he is the good shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep. So today we gather in the name of the one who is healer, a rejected stone that became the cornerstone, a good shepherd, and ultimately the one who laid down his own life to save us from our sins. Let us absorb the richness of the Lord Jesus made present in the proclamation of today’s readings. From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copyright © J. S. Paluch Company

Be a life saver. Please come and pray the Rosary to promote a Culture of Life every Tuesday, 6:30 p.m., in the Church. The Hospitality Ministers and the “Jesus, the Divine Light” prayer group will lead the Rosary in April.

St. Michael Preschool Lucy Zamorano, Director 619-472-5437

We are DRIVEN to teach Catholic-values based life.

Blessings from St. Michael Academy to the St. Michael Parish Community!

“Religion may be taught as a separate subject, but in a Catholic school, faith learning happens throughout the day.” Would you like to have your child(ren) attend a school where they receive religious instruction and practice it daily? Would you like them to attend a school that has a long history of strong academics and small class size? In addition to religion and the three R’s, would you like your child to receive weekly instruction in fine arts, music, science, social studies, computer and physical education? If you are looking for this type of school, St. Michael Academy is that school!

Enrollment/registration is an ongoing process at St. Michael Academy. We are a Kindergarten through 8th Grade school. Contact the office and schedule a tour of the Academy. Give us an opportunity to show you how the cost of your child’s Catholic education can fit into your budget. Call 619 470-4880, or e-mail Mrs. Lewis at [email protected]. Fr. Manny continues to offer a $1,000.00 discount to new families enrolling in the Academy.

Yours in Christ,

Mary Johnson, Principal

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD. All of creation has the power to lay down its life. The yearly seasons lay down the bounty of their harvest, and daily our own lives pour forth their energy into tasks and labors—all a laying down. Most people want to be and are generous. Most people want to forgive. Most people want to be patient, to sacrifice for the sake of love, to give back what is received. Most people want to give of themselves for the happi-ness of others, to do service for the community, to donate blood, to be able to forgo their own way for the sake of harmony, to be courageous even at great cost. All of creation also has the power to take up life again. Springtime returns; each morning we instinctively awaken to another day; weakened bodies heal. We also have the power to take up life. We seek relationships of love; we desire to enflesh that love with children. We work hard; we long to be creative; we strive to be good; we seek to create harmony and peace. We hunger for a relationship with our God. And we succeed more often than not. We do have a God-given power to take up new life. It is our God’s command to us. That dual rhythm of laying down and taking up is but the echo of the Lord Jesus and how he chose to live among us. It was his Father’s command to him, bred in his bones and in his spirit, and it is a command that continues to show itself in our lives.

LIVING GOD’S WORD. The divine instinct to lay down and to take up is how the Lord Jesus shepherds us, modeling so well what it means to be divine that we find ourselves imitating Him and growing in His likeness. That divine instinct is how the Spirit shepherds through us. Copyright © 2014, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Prayer for the Year of Consecrated Life

O God, throughout the ages you have called women and men to pursue lives of

perfect charity through the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. During this Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks for these courageous witnesses of Faith and models of inspiration. Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to make a more perfect offering of ourselves to you. Continue to enrich your Church by calling forth sons and daughters who, having found the pearl of great price, treasure the Kingdom of Heaven above all things. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS God our Father, we thank you for calling men and women to serve in your Son’s Kingdom as priests, deacons, and conse-crated persons. Send your Holy Spirit to help others to respond generously and

courageously to your call. May our community of faith support vocations of sacrificial love in our youth and young adults. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
