PARISH INFORMATION Fourth Sunday of Easter 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.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — There is no salvation through anyone else (Acts 4:8-12). Psalm — The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone (Psalm 118). Second Reading — See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God (1 John 3:1-2). Gospel — The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep (John 10:11-18).

Cuarto Domingo de Pascua EL BUEN PASTOR El Cuarto Domingo de Pascua tradicionalmente 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..

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Sólo en Jesús encontrará el mundo la salvación (Hechos 4:8-12). Salmo — La piedra que desecharon los arquitectos, es ahora la piedra angular (Salmo 118 [117]). Segunda lectura — Nos hemos convertido en hijos de Dios por el amor que el Padre nos tiene (1 Juan 3:1-2). Evangelio — El Padre ama a Jesús, el Buen Pastor, que da la vida por sus ovejas (Juan

The Dance, a means to evangelize by Danny Benitez

For eight months now, I have been blessed to share with a group of ladies my passion for dance. These ladies par cipate in my Zumba dance class and they enjoy a ending Zumba every Wednesday and Sunday, offered here at Saint Dominic Savio Parish. It's a very interes ng group. At the beginning, I saw this ac vity as a way to exercise the body, for good health, and to enjoy music. Besides those reasons, the dance is also a medium that a racts the a en on of people. This is my opportunity to use these ac vi es to make a difference in the lives of those around me. It’s something to offer to the community, but with a different approach. It has also helped me realize more and more that as Salesians, we can be very innova ve and crea ve.

Before star ng the class, I share with the group some Salesian quotes (sayings) or a verse from the Gospel, i.e. the parable of the talents, or a story about my experience at this adventure as a Salesian volunteer to help them see things differently. When I was in the missions of Tijuana, Mexico, in December, I shared a phrase that had impacted me on the trip: "The trash of the wealthy is the wealth of the poor.” Many shared their own experiences, which makes the group grow. All this, in order for them to learn that it is important to appreciate what we have and make their children appreciate what they have.

For me, Zumba is a place where people can relieve their stress and a space for people to escape concerns from work or home. In fact, one of the par cipants men oned that thanks to the class she has managed to put aside the familial depression that was taking place. I start to see that Zumba class is beyond the

dance. I feel that this lady has found an important value to life. God uses music, singing, technology, and dancing in order to help a person feel loved. I really appreciate the dedica on, commitment and passion that these women have. They have helped me value my own passions and find comfort in doing what I love to do most.
