The Holy Father speaks…..
It is my great hope that, during the course of this Extraordinary Jubilee of
Mercy, all the baptized may experience the joy of belonging to the Church
and rediscover that the Christian vocation, just like every particular
vocation, is born from within the People of God, and is a gift of divine
mercy. The Church is the house of mercy, and it is the “soil” where
vocations take root, mature and bear fruit.
The call of God comes to us by means of a mediation which is communal.
God calls us to become a part of the Church and, after we have reached a certain maturity
within it, he bestows on us a specific vocation. The vocational journey is undertaken together
with the brothers and sisters whom the Lord has given to us: it is a con-vocation. The
ecclesial dynamism of the call is an antidote to indifference and to individualism. It
establishes the communion in which indifference is vanquished by love, because it demands
that we go beyond ourselves and place our lives at the service of God’s plan, embracing the
historical circumstances of his holy people.

Cuarto Domingo de Pascua, Jesus es el Buen Pastor.
Jesús es el Buen Pastor anunciado en las Sagradas
Escrituras del Antiguo Testamento, El es el Mesías
ansiosamente esperado, el liberador, el que viene a
perdonar, a sanar, a bendecir, a enseñar, a advertir y
santifica a todos los que le escuchan. El es el prometido.
El Pastor: Yo buscaré a los perdidos y traeré de regreso
a los extraviados. Sanaré los heridos y fortaleceré los
débiles, pero a los sagaces y fuertes destruiré. Yo
pastorearé el rebaño con Justicia. El pastor es la
persona mas importante en la vida de las ovejas. Por
naturaleza, las ovejas son distraídas, se pueden perder
fácilmente, no tienen sentido de orientación, parece que
siempre están mirando hacia abajo y no se preocupan
de su bienestar. Si no se les muestra donde encontrar
pasto, pueden morir por falta de comida si caen a un
hueco, ellas no son inteligentes para liberasen, si se
hieren, nos sanan rápidamente y necesitan mucho cuidado, sin un pastor están perdidas. Jesús mismo asume
el nombre de cordero y va aún mas adelante en dar su vida por nosotros en sacrificio por el perdón de nuestros
pecados, en las palabras de San Juan el Bautista, El es el cordero de Dios que quita los pecados del mundo, su
condición es humilde con respecto a su Padre, pero El es el líder del rebaño de Dios, El es el Rey y el que lava
nuestros pecados con su Preciosa Sangre. Por sus heridas somos sanados. Con su cetro nos reprenderá, con
su callado el traerá aquellos se extravíen, en su misericordia el perdonará a los que hacen el mal, en su ternura
sanará a todos los que estén heridos, con su palabra, su carne y su sangre alimentará a todos los hambrientos,
porque el cuida de nosotros. Su Reino no es de este mundo, es el Reino de nuestros corazones, donde
nosotros tenemos la opción de amar a Aquel que cuida de nosotros al guardar sus mandamientos.

Canales los Sabados y los Domingos.

World Day of Prayer for Vocations
Sunday April 17, 2016
Prayer for Vocations
Lord of the Harvest, we petition you as you
have instructed us to ask for more laborers
to serve in the vineyard of Your Church.
You have told us that the harvest is rich
and laborers are few and we experience
this great need in the face of the
challenge of the New Evangelization.
We ask the Holy Spirit to inspire young
men and women to seriously consider
vocations to the priesthood and religious
life. Help all of us to be effective
instruments to encourage and support
those whom you are calling to serve and
lead the Church of Brooklyn and Queens
in the future.
Lord, you told the Apostles to put out into
the deep. We ask for the grace and
courage to respond to your call as we
pray and work for an increase in vocations
to the priesthood, diaconate and religious
life.
We ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ, the
Great High Priest, Amen.
