Ave, Ave, María.
From Deacon Bill Warmouth My Brothers and Sisters,
Today we celebrate the 4th Sunday of Easter which is more commonly known as “Good Shepherd Sunday” because of references to a good shepherd in the Gospel. Often times when this Sunday approaches, I think of my family’s visit to Ireland many years ago. The reason for that is because it was my first true encounter with sheep. I was not aware of just how many sheep were in the western part of Ireland. As we drove along, we often had to stop the car to let sheep cross the road. Sometimes they were led by a shepherd and at other times they seemed to be wandering on their own. An unusual sight for me is that the sheep had spray painted marks on them of various colors in different spots of their bodies. I came to find out that their owners marked them for identification when they mixed in with other flocks. To this day I can recall the colorful procession as they crossed from one pasture to another, seeming to follow their shepherd without a care.
In our readings this Sunday we also encounter Psalm 23; a familiar one to most of us especially the refrain, “The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.” It seems an appropriate psalm for this time of the pandemic especially the lines, “Even though I walk in the dark valley, I fear no evil; for you are at my side. How appropriate as we wander like sheep thru this strange time of fear, uncertainty and isolation. It is times like these that we must turn to Jesus. We, who just like the Irish sheep, have been marked, not with paint but in the waters of Baptism. We who proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Messiah, just as Peter did when addressing the Jews in Jerusalem. We who have continually heard his voice as it was proclaimed from the Gospel. We are called to follow that voice of love and concern. We are called to trust in him.
However, as we follow the Good Shepherd, we must keep in mind, as we read in 1st Peter, that in following Jesus we must be prepared to experience suffering just as Jesus suffered to free us from sin and return us to the safety of his heavenly flock.
Deacon Bill
Mis Hermanos y Hermanas, Hoy celebramos el 4º domingo de Pascua, que se
conoce más comúnmente como "Domingo del Buen Pastor" debido a las referencias a un buen pastor en
el Evangelio. Muchas veces, cuando se acerca este domingo, pienso en la visita de mi familia a Irlanda hace muchos años. La razón de esto es porque fue
mi primer verdadero encuentro con las ovejas. No sabía cuántas ovejas había en la parte occidental de
Irlanda. A medida que avanzábamos, a menudo teníamos que detener el automóvil para dejar que
las ovejas cruzaran la carretera. Algunas veces fueron guiados por un pastor y otras veces parecían
estar vagando soloa. Una visión inusual para mí es que las ovejas tenían marcas pintadas
con spray de varios colores en diferentes puntos de sus cuerpos. Llegué a descubrir
que sus dueños los marcaron para su identificación cuando se mezclaron con
otras bandadas. Hasta el día de hoy puedo recordar la colorida procesión mientras
cruzaban de un pastizal a otro, parecían seguir a su pastor sin preocuparse.
En nuestras lecturas de este domingo también encontramos el Salmo 23; uno familiar para la
mayoría de nosotros, especialmente el refrán, “El Señor es mi pastor; nada me falta". Parece un salmo
apropiado para este tiempo de la pandemia, especialmente las líneas: “Aunque camino en el valle
oscuro, no temo al mal; porque estas a mi lado Qué apropiado mientras paseamos como ovejas a través de este extraño momento de miedo, incertidumbre y
aislamiento. Es en momentos como estos que debemos recurrir a Jesús. Nosotros, que al igual que las ovejas irlandesas, hemos sido marcados, no con
pintura, sino en las aguas del bautismo. Los que proclamamos a Jesús como nuestro Señor y Mesías, tal como lo hizo Pedro cuando se dirigió a los judíos en Jerusalén. Nosotros, que continuamente hemos
escuchado su voz tal como fue proclamada desde el Evangelio. Estamos llamados a seguir esa voz de
amor y preocupación. Estamos llamados a confiar en él.
Sin embargo, al seguir al Buen Pastor, debemos tener en cuenta, como leemos en 1er Pedro, que al
seguir a Jesús debemos estar preparados para experimentar el sufrimiento tal como Jesús sufrió
para liberarnos del pecado y devolvernos a la seguridad de su hermano. rebaño celestial

SPIRITUALLY ADOPTIVE PARENTS!
Your baby has reached 13 weeks and is the size of a kiwi. Your baby can now make complex facial expressions, and the nose and lips are completely formed. If you could peek inside, you could tell if you were having a girl or boy! Intestines absorb water and glucose from swallowed amniotic fluid, and the rib cage starts to take shape. The eyes continue to remain closed so as to protect the fragile optical nerve fibers. Soft fingernails and toenails are formed, and fingerprints and toe prints are distinct. The heart is almost completely formed. The little baby begins to open and close its mouth. Very often, sonograms show the baby sucking his / her thumb even at this early age. As surprising as it may sound, studies indicate that the baby sometimes cries silently within the womb and also hiccup now that and then. Keep praying for your spiritually adopted child. Only 189 days until birth!

¡PADRES ESPIRITUALMENTE ADOPTIVOS!
Su bebé ha alcanzado las 13 semanas y tiene el tamaño de un kiwi. Su bebé ahora puede hacer expresiones faciales complejas, y la nariz y los labios están completamente formados. Si pudieras echar un vistazo adentro, ¡podrías decir si estabas teniendo una niña o un niño! Los intestinos absorben agua y glucosa del líquido amniótico ingerido, y la caja torácica comienza a tomar forma. Los ojos continúan cerrados para proteger las frágiles fibras nerviosas ópticas. Se forman uñas y uñas de los pies suaves, y
las huellas de los dedos y las huellas de los pies son distintas. El corazón está casi completamente formado. El pequeño bebé comienza a abrir y cerrar la boca. Muy a menudo, las ecografías muestran que el bebé se chupa el pulgar incluso a esta temprana edad. Por sorprendente que pueda parecer, los estudios indican que el bebé a veces llora en silencio dentro del útero y también tiene hipo de vez en cuando. Sigue orando por tu hijo espiritualmente adoptado. ¡Solo quedan 189 días para el nacimiento!
