SHEPHERDS LIKE JESUS

Each year this Fourth Sunday of Easter celebrates Jesus the Good Shepherd. Today’s Gospel seems espe-cially timely, for as Christians worldwide suffer persecu-tion like Paul and Barnabas, Jesus promises his sheep en-

during, invincible safety: “They shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand.” But we who are free to live our faith peacefully sometimes take our membership in Jesus’ flock for granted, wandering astray to seek our own pleasure and prosperity. The simple cross that Pope Francis

always wears seems to show us how Jesus responds to that. Francis’s cross features an image of Jesus, who has sought and found a lost sheep, then joyfully set it on his shoulders to carry it gently home. May Good Shepherd Sunday inspire us, so often lost and found ourselves, to assist Jesus in seeking, finding, and gently carrying home our fellow precious lambs. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Fourth Sunday of Easter May 12, 2019

“I have made you a light to the Gentiles,

that you may be an instrument of salvation

to the ends of the earth.” — Acts 13:47b

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

The reception of Holy Communion at Sunday Mass is such an expected feature of the Mass these days that it is surprising to realize that for many centuries, receiving Communion was a relatively rare event in the life of a faithful Christian. “Easter duty” means that Catholics must celebrate reconciliation if aware of serious sin, and receive Holy Communion during the Easter season. For a while, this was a requirement of Easter week, and later extended to the whole season of fifty days, and even beyond that by a few weeks. For the majority of people

long ago, this meant Communion was a once-a-year moment. A rather complex bureaucracy grew up around this rule in the Middle Ages. Amazingly, people re-ceived a kind of token at confession ad-mitting them to Communion in their home parish, which then kept careful records and reported them to the bishop.

Surviving records can tell us a great deal about our ancestors. In fact, people were encouraged to journey to the church of their baptism in order to fulfill their duty, and therefore the Easter duty includes in its origins a grateful pilgrimage to the font in which you were first embraced by Christ. If your “Holy Mother Church” is within a drive, why not make a pilgrimage to that font a feature of your Easter celebration of these fifty days? —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

MOTHER BLEST Though she was the Mother of the Lord, yet she

desired to learn the precepts of the Lord, and she who brought forth God, yet desired to know God.

—St. Ambrose

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The word of the Lord continued to spread through the whole region (Acts 13:14, 43-52). Psalm — We are his people, the sheep of his flock (Psalm 100). Second Reading — I had a vision of a great multitude (Revelation 7:9, 14b-17). Gospel — My sheep hear my voice; I know them and give them eternal life (John 10:27-30).

Dear Parish Volunteers,

As we begin to join together, I would like to announce the scheduling of dinners to allow for our parish groups to come together, to meet each other and spend some time reflecting on your group and how we will move forward together. Although the initial reflec-tion portion of the dinner will be similar, I would still encourage your participation in the dinners so that you can meet others in your group, and begin to work together. Please make sure that you RSVP for each dinner so that we can prepare for you, by calling the Parish Office at 412-531-2135 at least 5 days prior to date of dinner!
