Good Shephard Sunday

El Domingo del Buen Pastor

2

4th Sunday of Easter

First Reading 



Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said: “Leaders of the people and elders:

If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a cripple, namely, by what means he was saved, then all of you and all the people of Israel should know that it was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead; in his name this man stands before you healed. He isthe stone rejected by you, the builders,  which has become the cornerstone.

There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven

given to the human race by which we are to be saved.” 

QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK 

First Reading: 

We hear how Peter courageously testified before the San-hedrin that in Jesus’ name the crippled man was healed and in Jesus’ name all believers are saved. How strong is the conviction of your faith when someone challenges you?  Second Reading: 

John speaks to his community of believers as “children of God.” What do you see as some of the implications of such a designation? 

Gospel: 

In speaking of himself as “the good shepherd” who cares deeply for his sheep, Jesus contrasts himself to “a hired man” (the Pharisees) who has no concern for his sheep. How should have the Pharisees reacted to this criticism?

Second Reading  



See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. Yet so we are.

The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Beloved, we are God’s children now;

what we shall be has not yet been revealed.

We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 

Gospel











Jesus said:

“I am the good shepherd.

A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired man, who is not a shepherd

and whose sheep are not his own,

sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them. This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep.



I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. This is why the Father loves me,  because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and  power to take it up again.



This command I have received from my Father.” 

There’s a new push in Congress to force Americans

to pay for abortion. The Hyde Amendment and other

similar laws have protected taxpayers from funding

elective abortion. Now, Congress wants to take away

these laws, which have had broad public support for

nearly 50 years. Without the Hyde Amendment, 

billions of dollars in healthcare funding could go to

abortion. 

Cuarto

Domingo de Pascua

Primera Lectura  Hch 4, 8-12 

En aquellos días, Pedro, lleno del Espíritu Santo, di-jo: “Jefes del pueblo y ancianos, puesto que hoy se nos interroga acerca del beneficio hecho a un hom-bre enfermo, para saber cómo fue curado, sépanlo ustedes y sépalo todo el pueblo de Israel: este hom-bre ha quedado sano en el nomhom-bre de Jesús de Na-zaret, a quien ustedes crucificaron y a quien Dios resucitó de entre los muertos. Este mismo Jesús esla piedra que ustedes, los constructores, han desechado y que ahora es la piedra angular. Ningún otro puede salvarnos, pues en la tierra no existe nin-guna otra persona a quien Dios haya constituido co-mo salvador nuestro”. 

Segunda Lectura



Queridos hijos: Miren cuánto amor nos ha tenido el Padre, pues no sólo nos llamamos hijos de Dios, sino que lo somos. Si el mundo no nos reconoce, es por-que tampoco lo ha reconocido a él.

Hermanos míos, ahora somos hijos de Dios, pero aún no se ha manifestado cómo seremos al fin. Y ya  sabemos que, cuando él se manifieste, vamos a ser semejantes a él, porque lo veremos tal cual es.

PREGUNTAS DE LA SEMANA

Primera Lectura: 

Escuchamos cómo Pedro testificó valientemente ante el Sanedrín que en el nombre de Jesús el hombre lisiado fue sanado y en el nombre de Jesús todos los creyentes son svos. ¿Qué tan fuerte es la convicción de tu fe cuando al-guien te desafía? 



Segunda Lectura: 

Juan habla a su comunidad de creyentes como "hijos de Dios." ¿Cuáles crees que son algunas de las implicaciones de tal designación? 



Evangelio: 

Al hablar de sí mismo como "el buen pastor" que se preo-cupa profundamente por sus ovejas, Jesús se contrasta a "un jornalero" (los fariseos) que no se preocupa por sus ovejas. ¿Cómo deberían haber reaccionado los fariseos a

esta crítica? ©LPi

Evangelio 

En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a los fariseos: “Yo soy el buen pastor. El buen pastor da la vida por sus ovejas. En cambio, el asalariado, el que no es el pastor ni el dueño de las ovejas, cuando ve venir al lobo, abandona las ovejas y huye; el lobo se arroja sobre ellas y las dispersa, porque a un asalariado no le importan las ovejas.

Yo soy el buen pastor, porque conozco a mis ovejas y ellas me conocen a mí, así como el Pa-dre me conoce a mí y yo conozco al PaPa-dre. Yo doy la vida por mis ovejas. Tengo además otras ovejas que no son de este redil y es necesario que las traiga también a ellas; escucharán mi voz y habrá un solo rebaño y un solo pastor.

El Padre me ama porque doy mi vida para volver-la a tomar. Nadie me volver-la quita; yo volver-la doy porque quiero. Tengo poder para darla y lo tengo tam-bién para volverla a tomar. Éste es el mandato que he recibido de mi Padre’’.

Nuevo impulso en el Congreso para obligar a 

estadounidenses a pagar abortos. La Enmienda Hyde y otras leyes similares protegen a los contribuyentes del  financiamiento de abortos voluntarios. Actualmente, el Congreso quiere eliminar estas leyes, que desde hace casi 50 años tienen el gran apoyo de la gente. Sin la Enmienda Hyde, miles de millones de dólares en fondos de atención médica podrían destinarse a los abortos.
