Chúa Nhật 4 Phục Sinh Cầu cho Ơn Thiên Triệu - Phúc Âm: Ga 10, 27-30 Khi ấy, Chúa Giêsu phán rằng: "Chiên Ta thì nghe tiếng Ta, Ta biết chúng và chúng theo Ta. Ta cho chúng được sống đời đời; chúng sẽ không bao giờ hư mất, và không ai có thể cướp được chúng khỏi tay Ta. Ðiều mà Cha Ta ban cho Ta, thì cao trọng hơn tất cả, và không ai có thể cướp được khỏi tay Cha Ta. Ta và Cha Ta là một". NGHE CHÚA, BIẾT CHÚA VÀ THEO CHÚA ĐỂ ĐƯỢC NHỮNG GÌ ?: Như bầy chiên đi trên những đồi núi đến những cánh đồng cỏ xanh tươi, đến những suối nước mát trong lành để ăn cỏ, uống nước và nghỉ ngơi. Tất cả những con chiên trong đàn đều lắng nghe tiếng chủ chăn dắt, biết rõ lệnh của chủ và đi theo sự hướng dẫn của chủ. Thiên Chúa là vị mục tử duy nhất, nhân hậu đã trả lời cho những ai muốn đi theo Người:” Tôi ban cho chúng sự sống đời đời; không bao giờ chúng phải diệt vong và không ai cướp được chúng khỏi tay tôi”( Ga 10, 28 ). MỖI NGƯỜI CHÚNG TA ĐƯỢC MỜI GỌI YÊU MẾN CHỦ CHIÊN: Thiên Chúa là Cha tình thương đã trao cho Con của Ngài là Đức Giêsu đòan chiên yêu quý. Chúa Giêsu đã yêu thương đòan chiên của mình như Chúa Cha đã yêu thương từng con chiên. Bổn phận của mỗi người chúng ta là phải yêu mến, tôn kính và hiếu thảo với Chúa Cha và Chúa Con. Đức Giáo Hòang, các Giám Mục, các Linh Mục là những vị lãnh đạo tôn giáo Chúa trao ban sứ mạng coi sóc đòan chiên của Chúa dưới trần gian này. Chúng ta phải hết lòng tôn kính, mến yêu và cầu nguyện cho các Ngài. Đặc biệt các Cha Sở và Cha phó là những vị mục tử trực tiếp coi sóc đòan chiên của Giáo Xứ. Các Ngài luôn muốn đòan chiên và từng con chiên của mình được ăn uống no nê để có sức phục vụ và sống tốt đẹp làm tôi Chúa. Chúng ta phải hết lòng yêu mến, hiếu thảo, giúp đỡ các Ngài và cầu nguyện cho các Ngài Hôm nay là ngày cầu xin ơn Thiên Triệu, chúng ta sốt sắng cầu nguyện xin Chúa ban cho có nhiều thanh niên, nam nữ quảng đại dấn thân tận hiến cho Chúa trong sứ mạng mục tử coi sóc đàn chiên và sứ mạng làm chứng cho Chúa trong đời sống tu dòng. (Trích trong bài suy niệm của Linh mục Giuse Nguyễn Hưng Lợi DCCT) Tin Cộng Đoàn Việt Nam Thứ Bảy ngày 23 tháng 4: Các em Xưng Tội Rước Lễ Lần Đầu Tĩnh Tâm tại Giáo Xứ từ 9am -4pm Chúa Nhật ngày 24 tháng 4 Thánh Lễ cho các em Xưng Tội Rước Lễ Lần Đầu lúc 4:30pm Thứ Bảy ngày 14 tháng 5 Các em Thêm Sức Tĩnh Tâm tại Santa Mar ia Chur ch/ Or inda từ 9am – 6pm Chúa Nhật ngày 15 tháng 5 Các em Thêm Sức sẽ tham dự thánh Lễ lúc 10:30 sáng với các em Cộng Đoàn Mỹ & Mễ tại Thánh Đường St. Felicitas và sẽ có Lunch với nhau. R e f l e x i o n e m o s s o b re l a P a l a b r a d e D i o s Hechos 13:14, 43—52 / Salmo 99:1—2, 3, 5 / Apocalipsis 7:9, 14—17 / Juan 10:27—30 Un juego de niños popular en los Estados Unidos es Follow the Leader (Sigan al líder) y puede ser muy divertido, dependiendo de cómo dirija el líder. Si el líder dirige a sus seguidores por entre matorrales enredados, saltando cercas, por donde hay ramas caídas y por donde hay perros ladrando, empeñándose en perder y disuadir a los otros jugadores, éstos tienden a darse por vencidos al sentirse cobardes, tristes o débiles. Por otro lado, si el líder le abre el camino a los demás, los anima y guía, los seguidores terminarán el juego sintiéndose confiados y alegres. Las Escrituras que se leen hoy muestran a Cristo como esa última clase de líder, que nos dirige mientras seca nuestras lágrimas. Él es un pastor que nos anima y nos lleva desde el sufrimiento hacia el agua viva. Pablo y Bernabé lo siguen gozosamente convirtiéndose ellos mismos en líderes semejantes a Cristo. Ellos animan a sus seguidores y les facilitan el camino a través de cualquier congoja que pudieran encontrar en el camino. De la misma manera, los discípulos que siguen a Cristo deben convertirse en líderes que comparten con los demás la valentía, la confianza y el gozo que ellos han encontrado por seguir a Cristo. —Virginia Stillwell Derechos de autor © 2012, World Library Publications. Todos los derechos reservados . Vivamos la Palabra de Dios El pasaje del Apocalipsis habla de “una multitud enorme”, “gentes de toda nación… [que] vestían de blanco” (7:9). Esto se refiere a todos los que se han revestido de Cristo en el bautismo. Aquellos que se revisten de Cristo sufrirán como Cristo sufrió. El sufrimiento vendrá para todos los que hemos escogido seguir a nuestro pastor y líder. Derechos de autor © 2012, World Library Publications.

Where: St. Felicitas Catholic Church Pope Francis marked the beginning of the Church’s Lenten journey by sending off several hundred religious and diocesan priests on their own special path as “missionaries of mercy” in local parishes. Father Mark received the Pope’s mandate to preach about God’s mercy. The Pope said his mandate is to be “signs and instruments of God’s pardon.” His mission is to be an ambassador for Christ.
