En el Evangelio de hoy Jesús se compara a sí mismo con un pastor que protege a sus ovejas y le pro-mete a sus discípulos que las mantendrá seguras en sus manos. Cuán apropiado es que esta hermosa imagen se nos presente en el Día de las Madres. Hoy honramos a todas las madres que nos han ama-do, protegido y abrigado en sus brazos; en otras palabras, aquellas que nos han tratado con el mismo amor tierno del Buen Pastor. Demos hoy gracias por nuestras madres, ya estén todavía entre noso-tros o disfrutando ya de la paz eterna. Jesús siempre ha querido ampliar su audiencia y por tanto estaba resuelto a abrir caminos en medio de los límites falsos que eran comunes a la cultura y a la fe. Los paganos y los judíos, las mujeres y los hombres, los pescadores y los cobradores de impuestos, los enfermos y los sanos, todos fueron invita-dos a seguirle. Ése era su rebaño. Y así es que Pablo y Bernabé predicaron tanto para los judíos que para los paganos. No es de extrañar entonces que Juan haya tenido la visión de una muchedumbre “de todas las naciones y razas, de todos los pueblos y lenguas” (Apocalipsis 7, 9). Nadie queda exclui-do de la ternura de Dios. En el Evangelio de hoy Jesús le dice a sus discípulos que las ovejas escuchan su voz. Jesús las reconoce y ellas lo reconocen a él. Somos miembros del rebaño de Jesús, ¿podemos reconocer su voz? ¿Podemos oír su voz en las mismas personas a las que él quería llegar, o sea, los abandonados y des-preciados, los hambrientos y los encarcelados, los que no tienen un techo y los refugiados, los ancia-nos y los aún no nacidos, la adolescente encinta, el niño abusado? Puede que todos ellos quieran lle-gar a nosotros, pues necesitan a alguien que los escuche, que verdaderamente escuchen su voz.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE-Hoy celebramos a una mujer potente e impor-
tante en nuestras vidas; la madre. La historia del día de la madre se originó
en las fiestas griegas en honor de Rhea, la madre de los dioses. A lo largo de
la historia los cristianos también hemos recordado a la Madre de Dios, Ma-
ría, en varias solemnidades, pero hace sólo 100 años, el 10 de mayo de 1907
en los Estados Unidos se empezó a promover la idea de un día de reconoci-
miento del amor que tenemos como humanos por nuestras propias madres.
Eventualmente se paso a muchas naciones latinoamericanas. Muchas culturas latinoamericanas son matriarcales, es decir, el papel de la madre en la familia es algo esencial. Para los latinos, no hay amor más grande que el de una madre. Sin olvidar la función del padre, ella es la que nos da la vida, nos enseña como vivirla y nos da alimento. Su amor nos re-cuerda al de Cristo, quien con sacrificio y amor da vida a la Iglesia. Su amor sostiene y cuando las cosas se ponen difíciles emocionalmente, nuestro de-seo secreto es de estar en los brazos de mamá.-Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM,

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 cele-
brate 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 Com-
munion was a once-a-year moment. A rather complex bureaucracy grew up around this rule in the
Middle Ages. Amazingly, people received a kind of token at confession admitting them to Com-
munion 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 en-
couraged 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
In the Gospel today Jesus compares himself to a shepherd protecting his sheep, promising his disciples that he will hold them securely in his hands. How appropriate that this wonderful image is presented on Mother’s Day. Today we honor all types of mothers who have loved us, protected us, and held us, those who have treated us with the ten-der loving care of the Good Shepherd. Let us give thanks today for all our mothers, living and deceased.
Jesus had always been one to widen his audience. He was determined to break through the false boundaries that
were common to the culture and the faith. Gentiles and Jews, women and men, blue collar (fisherman) and white collar (tax collector), the sick and the healthy—all were invited to follow him. This was his flock. So of course Paul and Barnabas preached to both Jews and Gentiles. No wonder John had a vision of a great multitude “from every nation, race, people, and tongue” (Revelation 7:9). No one is excluded from God’s tender touch.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples that his sheep hear his voice. Jesus recogniz-es them and the sheep recognize him. As members of his flock, do we recognize Je-sus’ voice? Can we hear his voice in the same people to whom he reached out—the neglected and the scorned? The hungry and the imprisoned? The homeless and the refugee? The aged and the unborn? The pregnant teen? The abused child? They may be reaching out to us, looking for someone to hear them, really hear their voice.

Mary, on this day when we honor all mothers, we turn to you. We thank the Lord whom you serve for the great gift of motherhood. Never has it been known that anyone who sought your intercession was left unaided by grace. Dear Mother, thank you for your "Yes" to the invitation of the angel which brought heaven to
earth and changed human history. You opened yourself to God's word and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. Dear mother, intercede for all of our mothers. Ask your Divine Son to give them the grace of surrendered love so that they could join with you in giving their own "Fiat." May they find daily strength to say yes to the call to the sacrificial love- the very heart of the vocation of motherhood. May their love and witness be a source of great inspira-tion for all of us called to follow your Son. On this Mothers day, Mother of the Word Incarnate, pray for us who have recourse to you… In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Ho-ly Spirit. Amen. Amado Padre: Te damos gracias por nuestras madres a las que tu les has confiado el cuidado precioso de la vida humana desde su inicio en el vientre. Mira a cada madre que está esperando un hijo, fortalece su fe en Tu pater-nal cuidado y amor para ella y para su bebé. Dale valentía en tiempos de miedo o dolor, la comprensión en los momentos de incertidumbre y duda, y la esperanza en tiempos de problemas. Haz que todas ellas pueden dignamente fomentar la fe de sus hijos, siguiendo el ejemplo de María. Ayuda a las madres a crecer diaria-mente en el conocimiento y la comprensión de Tu Hijo, Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, y concédeles la sabiduría para difundir este conocimiento fielmente a sus hijos. Nosotros pedimos que envíes el Espíritu Santo, el Consolador, a las madres de los niños que han muerto, están enfermos o separados de sus familias. Que Tu Espíritu Santo constantemente las inspire y forta-lezca. Que nunca dejen de seguir el ejemplo de María, madre de Nues-tro Señor, y de imitar su fidelidad, su humildad y su amor oblativo. Te lo pedimos por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que vive y reina contigo y el Espíritu Santo, un solo Dios, mundo sin fin. ¡Amén!

Every Christian is a Vocation Promoter Because all of us are called by our baptism to help build up the Kingdom of God, all of us are called to help our brothers and sisters find God’s will in their life. It follows then that all of us are called to help where we can in guiding people in their vocational discernment. This truth may be simple to see, but how we go about doing it takes more thought.
