 Good News
TODAY'S READINGS
First Reading -- God has raised the crucified Jesus,
who now pours forth the Holy Spirit upon us (Acts 2:14,
22-33).
Psalm -- Lord, you will show us the path of life (Psalm
16).
Second Reading -- Our faith and hope are in God
who raised Jesus from the dead (1 Peter 1:17-21).
Gospel -- Through his words and in the breaking of the
bread, the risen Christ made himself known to two dis-
ciples on their way to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35).
IN NEED OF A SHEPHERD
For a while it was very fashionable to
own pigs as pets. The publicity surround-
ing these creatures informed us that
they were--contrary to their popular im-
age--very clean animals, and also quite
smart. Sad to say, sheep will most likely
never enjoy this sort of domestic vogue.
They are neither clean nor smart and
are largely defenseless when left on
their own, even in large numbers. The
biblical image of us as the flock of
sheep is not a particularly flattering one.
Sheep without a shepherd are truly sad,
because they most likely will perish either from their
inability to fend for themselves or from their lack of
defenses against predators. Placing ourselves in the
heart of this unflattering image can reinforce our faith.
Until we come to a profound realization of how much
we need a shepherd, we cannot appreciate how
deeply blessed we are to have been given a Shep-
herd, one who laid down his life for us and was raised
to life eternal in the Spirit, so he might guide us and
we might follow him in faith forever.

Buenas Noticias
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura -- Los que creyeron fueron bautizados
(Hechos 2:14a, 36-41).
Salmo -- El Señor es mi pastor, nada me falta (Salmo
23 [22]).
Segunda lectura -- Han vuelto al pastor y guardián de
sus almas (1 Pedro 2:20b-25).
Evangelio -- Yo soy la puerta para las ovejas (Juan
10:1-10).
SE NECESITA UN PASTOR
Por un tiempo estuvo de moda tener cerdos como
mascotas. La publicidad que rodeó a
estas criaturas nos informó que, contra-
rio a la imagen popular, son animales
muy limpios y también bastante inteli-
gentes. Resulta triste decirlo, pero las
ovejas probablemente nunca gozarán
de este tipo de popularidad domésti-
ca. Ni limpias ni inteligentes, son mayor-
mente indefensas cuando se dejan
solas, aunque el rebaño sea numeroso.
La imagen bíblica de que somos un
rebaño de ovejas no resulta muy favo-
recedora. Triste es el caso de las ovejas
sin pastor porque, sin duda, perecerán
dada su incapacidad de valerse por sí mismas o su
carencia de defensas contra sus predadores. Colo-
carnos al centro de esta imagen poco favorecedora
puede fortalecer nuestra fe. Sólo cuando tomamos
profunda conciencia de que necesitamos un pastor,
podemos apreciar nuestras bendiciones al haber sido
entregados al Pastor, a aquél que dio su vida por no-
sotros y fue resucitado para la vida eterna en el Espíri-
tu, a fin de poder guiarnos por siempre mientras lo
seguimos en fe.
PREGUNTAS PARA REFLEXIONAR/DIALOGAR
Adultos:
¿Cómo evalúo mi vida y me doy cuenta de mis más
profundas necesidades, y finalmente, de mi confian-
za total en el Señor?

MISSION STATEMENT

Oración por las Vocaciones
Oh Dios de bondad,
nos llamas por nuestro nombre
y nos da vida.
Por el bautismo nos envías a proclamar
la Buen Nueva. Bendice y fortalece a
todos los hombres y mujeres, laicos y or-
denados, quienes sirven en la Iglesia.
Guía y da sabiduría a los que tratan de discernir
su vocación. Enriquece nuestra Iglesia con personas
dedicadas al matrimonio y a la vida célibe,
con sacerdotes, religiosos y diáconos.
Que llenos de alegría y de tu Espíritu Santo
podamos seguir a Jesús, nuestro Buen Pastor,
ahora y siempre. Amén.
